What happens when someone can no longer make their own decisions—and has no one legally authorized to step in? In this important episode of Informed Aging, Robin Rountree sits down with Amy Bryant of the Florida Guardian Support Network to break down the realities of guardianship in Florida.

Amy explains why guardianship is considered a last resort, how the court process works, what rights can be removed, and why planning ahead is so critical—especially for older adults, people living alone, and those experiencing cognitive decline. The conversation also explores who guardians are, why there’s a growing shortage, and how compassionate individuals can serve some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

This episode is a powerful reminder that writing down your wishes and naming someone you trust can mean the difference between control and court involvement.
