About This Course

Florida provides three key legal avenues for protecting individuals grappling with substance use and mental health disorders: the Marchman Act, Guardianship, and the Baker Act. This CLE presentation offers a comprehensive analysis of how these statutes can be utilized individually and in concert to support vulnerable loved ones.

We will delve into the unique purposes and applications of each statute, exploring when and why one may be preferable over another, and the circumstances under which all three may be employed in tandem within a single case. Attendees will gain insights into the procedural timelines for obtaining court orders under each statute, the duration of these orders, and the potential challenges and pitfalls associated with each legal path.

Join us to deepen your understanding of these critical tools and learn how to effectively leverage them to advocate for those in need of protection and care.
