Guardianship and Guardian Advocacy Form Preparation

Osceola County, Florida Only

Guardianship is a court-supervised process through which a judge may appoint a qualified person to exercise certain decision-making rights for someone who is unable to exercise those rights independently.

A guardianship proceeding may involve an adult affected by Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, a serious cognitive impairment, or another condition affecting the person’s ability to understand information and make informed decisions.

Guardian advocacy is a related but different process that may be available for a person with a qualifying developmental disability, such as an intellectual disability, autism, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or another condition recognized under Florida law.

The court not the petitioner or document preparer decides whether an appointment is necessary, who will be appointed, and which specific rights and responsibilities will be granted.

Our Form-Preparation Service

GVA Services Multiples LLC provides nonlawyer guardianship and guardian-advocacy form preparation exclusively for cases filed in Osceola County, Florida.

Our service is limited to typing information provided by the customer into the appropriate courthouse packet. We do not decide which proceeding you should file, select legal rights for you, prepare legal arguments, or advise you about what information you should include.

The fee for completing the packet is $100. This price applies to the clerical preparation of the required forms, including applicable general guardian or standby guardian sections contained in the packet provided by the Osceola County Clerk.

Court costs, filing fees, background checks, fingerprinting, required education, medical reports, attorney fees, service fees, and other outside expenses are not included.

Obtain the Correct Packet First

Before coming to our office, you must contact or visit the Osceola County Clerk of the Circuit Court’s Guardianship Division and obtain the correct packet for your circumstances.

The courthouse is located at:

Osceola County Courthouse
2 Courthouse Square
Kissimmee, Florida 34741

You are responsible for confirming the correct department, floor, packet, filing fee, and current filing requirements directly with the Clerk’s Office.

After obtaining the packet, bring the complete packet to GVA Services Multiples LLC with all requested information.

Information You May Need to Provide

Depending on the packet and type of proceeding, we may request:

A valid government-issued identification card
Social Security number or other information requested by the court forms
Complete legal names, addresses, and dates of birth
Residential history
Employment and work history
School and education history
Information about the person who may need assistance
Information concerning the person’s disability or condition
Names and addresses of relatives or other interested persons
Medical, educational, or supporting records requested by the packet
Information regarding a proposed standby guardian
Complete answers to every question contained in the courthouse packet

We only enter information provided by the customer. We do not investigate, verify, or independently obtain missing information.

The courthouse is located at:

Osceola County Courthouse
2 Courthouse Square
Kissimmee, Florida 34741

You are responsible for confirming the correct department, floor, packet, filing fee, and current filing requirements directly with the Clerk’s Office.

After obtaining the packet, bring the complete packet to GVA Services Multiples LLC with all requested information.

Completion Time

Document preparation generally takes approximately one week after we receive:

The correct and complete courthouse packet;
All required personal and supporting information; and
Payment for the form-preparation service.

Incomplete information may delay the preparation of the documents.

Reviewing and Signing the Documents

After the forms are prepared, the customer must return to review the entire packet for accuracy and completeness.

The customer is responsible for:

Reading every completed form
Confirming that all information is accurate
Correcting any errors or missing information
Signing the documents in the proper locations
Obtaining notarization when required
Filing the packet with the Osceola County Clerk
Paying all court and outside fees
Attending all required hearings
Completing required background checks, fingerprinting, or training
Following all instructions, deadlines, and court orders

We will provide the customer with the completed paper packet and an available digital copy of the documents prepared by our office.

Missing or Withheld Information

Every required question must be answered before we can complete the packet. If the customer cannot or does not wish to provide required information, we may be unable to finish the forms.

In that situation, we will return the packet with the information already entered. The customer may complete the remaining portions independently or consult a licensed Florida attorney.

Payment covers the document-preparation work performed and is not conditioned upon the court accepting the filing or granting the requested appointment.

Attorney Requirements

Some Florida guardianship proceedings require representation by a licensed Florida attorney. Guardian-advocacy cases may have different representation requirements, but an attorney may still be required by law or ordered by the court, particularly when authority over property is requested.

Our $100 document-preparation service does not include an attorney and does not replace any attorney required by law or by the court.

The person who is the subject of a guardian-advocacy petition has separate legal rights, including the right to counsel. The court appoints counsel for that person as required by Florida law.
