Guardianship case over Paul Walker's daughter on hold
The law is designed to protect those most vulnerable in society. One of the most vulnerable groups in Florida and other states is children since they are not mentally mature enough to make many decisions on their own. Therefore, they are generally at the mercy of decisions and actions of adults, namely their parents. A judge would have considered the best interest of the child if a guardianship dispute over Paul Walker's daughter had gone through the litigation process.
Use of Preneed Guardian Designations
An individual's personal decision to name a preneed guardian may prove to be vitally important. A competent adult is permitted to select a preneed guardian by making a written declaration that names a specific guardian to serve in the event of the person's incapacity. Section 744.3045(1), Florida Statutes. In the event that a proceeding to determine incapacity is initiated, a valid written declaration naming preneed guardian constitutes a, "rebuttable presumption that the preneed guardian is entitled to serve as guardian." Fla. Stat. 744.3045(4), Florida Statutes. However, a Court is not bound to appoint the preneed guardian if such person is found to be "unqualified" to serve as guardian.
