Guardianship Attorneys for Grandparents in Melbourne, Florida
When grandparents step up to care for their grandchildren, having proper legal authority is crucial. At Slonim Law, we understand that navigating guardianship in Florida can feel overwhelming.

What is Guardianship?
Guardianship is a legal process that grants you the authority to make decisions on behalf of your grandchild. In Florida, guardianship provides legal recognition of your role as primary caregiver, ensuring you can handle everything from school enrollment to medical care. This legal status is essential for providing stability and protecting your grandchild’s interests.
