Abstract:

This paper will identify a number of major issues that in our experience were found to be extremely important in providing legal guardianship through a family service agency. At the time of this writing the guardianship project (Guardianship Program for the Elderly of Dade County) has been operational for almost one year. In this time we have been appointed guardian of the person and property of 82 persons.
