There are two types of guardians. A “limited” guardian, as defined by Fla. Stat. §744.102(a),  is guardian who has been appointed by the court to exercise specific legal rights of the Ward. For example, sometimes the judge will determine that the AIP has capacity to make decision about his or own social environment, but does not have capacity to manage his or her property. In these cases, a guardianship is “limited.”  A “plenary” guardian, as defined by Fla. Stat. §744.102(b), is a person who has been appointed by the judge to exercise all delegable legal rights and powers of the Ward. In other words, the judge determined that the Ward is not competent to exercise any of his or her own legal rights.
