How can a person be guardian of someone in another state?
Full Question:
Answer:
Once a court has jurisdiction over a guardianship, it continues until transferred or terminated. It is possible to transfer jurisdiction, such as when the ward moves to another state, so that the new state now has jurisdiction over the person. However, if she is no longer in Florida, Florida courts may not have jurisdiction. Based on the information provided, or nature of the matter, we are unable to assist over the Internet. It would probably be best that you consult a local attorney for assistance with this, who can review all the documents and facts involved. Please see:
