[quote=Anonymous]I am in the discovery phase of applying for plenary guardianship of a close relative in Florida. Florida Statutes 744. I am 75; he is 71. The goal is not to micromanage his life. The goal is tp prevent addiction from killing him. The Marchman Act allows family members to put court authority behind a relative being involuntarily assessed for five days. The Baker Act does the same for mental health issues. My lawyer in Florida recently retained a boarded psychiatrist with an addiction sub-specialty to advise us on the medical issues, which are substantial across a decade. We have applied per HIPAA mandatory disclosure provisions for his 911, alcohol recovery, and ER records. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology has a directory. The University of Florida Health Florida Recovery Center is among the finest in the nation. If I prevail I hope to have close relative detoxed and do recovery there. Take heart; look for the one more thing you can do to prevail and do it to the best of your ability.[/quote]
