Florida Statutes Title XLIII. Domestic Relations § 744.646. Final settlement of guardianship;  notice required;  guardian ad litem fee;  papers required by United States Department of Veterans Affairs

On the final settlement of the guardianship, the notice provided herein for partial settlement must be given and the other proceedings conducted as in the case of partial settlement, except that a guardian ad litem may be appointed to represent the ward, the fee of which guardian ad litem shall in no case exceed $150.  However, if the ward has been pronounced competent, is shown to be mentally sound, appears in court, and is 18 years of age, the settlement may be had between the guardian and the ward under the direction of the court without notice to the next of kin, or the appointment of a guardian ad litem.  A certified copy of the final settlement so made in every case must be filed with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs by the clerk of the court.
