GUARDIANS in Lee County? I am 89. Health, mind and income all are ok, but no relative for "whom to call in case of emergency."

I will be 90 next year. Today my mind, health, income are all o.k. I do not have any functioning relatives. For rental, medical, bank, etc. I need to list a"Whom to contact in an emergency." I contracted an elder law attorney for POA, made a testament and signed a living will, but the law office itself has nobody for "guardianship" in case of need and suggested a professional guardian and may refer me to a professional guardian. I guess they would "stand-by" and "spring into action" when the need arrived. Let me read your suggestions, advice, information.

If you have a bank and are only looking for someone to handle your finances, talk to their trust department.

Welcome 'neighbor' >>Collier County. Could a close friend or someone you trust be your ICE contact?

You need a fiduciary not a guardian.

Ask your law firm about that. Ours has them on staff and they will be stepping in for one of us if it is ever required.

We have a certified elder law attorney that is part of a largish law firm to ensure we won't be out on a limb in the event something happens to our attorney.

Lee County where? There are lots of Lee Counties.

Yes, unfortunately. It is named here in SW Florida after a leader of the Confederacy. It should be named after Thomas Edison who spent some of his winters in Fort Myers. Edison, one of the truly great men of human history !
