We work closely with your attorney to review your estate plan to make sure that it is comprehensive and includes all necessary documents with the goal of avoiding guardianship. However, if the need does arise for the Court to determine that an individual lacks capacity and requires someone else to handle their financial affairs, The Bank of Tampa can be named as Guardian of the Property.
Utilizing a corporate Guardian has numerous benefits: permanence, experience, impartiality and sensitivity to family dynamics.
