7/13/2019 A Guardian is by law entrusted with the care of a person, property or both. SFGP understands that this is one of the most important assignments that can be bestowed upon a person. The duties of a Guardian are prescribed by the laws of the State of Florida and by the rules established by the Supreme Court of Florida. SFGP works with people who have a disabling condition. This includes people with conditions related to the aging process, people with a mental illness, people with developmental disability, people who have had a traumatic brain injury, or people with a physical handicap.
