Attorneys Eric C. Boughman and Teresa N. Phillips of ForsterBoughman explore Florida’s Guardianship Law, key elder care trends, legal risks, and strategies to protect vulnerable seniors, in their seminar:

Florida Guardianship Law:  Protecting the Elderly and Preventing Abuse
In this seminar, we examine the state of Florida’s Guardianship Law in 2025 and explore whether it provides sufficient protection for the state’s growing elderly population.  We discuss key trends, including the increasing number of "elder orphans" due to shifting family dynamics, and analyze the potential pitfalls and shortcomings of the current law.  Drawing on legal experience, we highlight risks associated with guardianship abuse and offer practical strategies to prevent unscrupulous individuals from exploiting the system.  Attendees will learn how to navigate guardianship issues effectively and safeguard the rights of vulnerable individuals.
