The "Guardianship - Florida" is a database program designed using 4 Dimension.
Email me at julio@postigo.com and I will mail you the CD.
The program is free to try, $50.00 to buy. The support is free.

To see the following pages use the links bellow, read the information and come back to the top by using the "Back" button of your browser.

This is the Initial Screen.

To use the program, you create: a record for the attorney (once),  a record for the ward (once).
And once a year, a record for the yearly accounting , a record for the  Plan (Annual Guardianship Report) and records for the accounting entries.
As follows:
1 - Create the Attorney's Record
2 - Create the Ward's Record
3- Create the Year Accounting Record
4- Create the Plan Record (Annual Guardianship Report)
5- Create the Accounting Entries
There are 2 main ways to create "Accounting Entries" records:
         A- Click on the "Accounting Entry" link  in the Start Screen to enter an individual accounting entry.  (Like Asset bought or Bond Interest)  
         B- Click on the "Entire Year" link found in the "Year Accounting" form, to enter all the regular income and disbursements records.  (Like, all the income received from SS or all the monthly disbursements to the guardian)

That is usually enough to generate all the forms required.
The Annual Guardianship Report will contain:

1 - The Annual Report of Guardian of the Property - Annual Acounting
      Schedules A, B, C, D, Summary and Affidavit
2 - The Annual Guardianship Report
      Annual Guardianship Plan

To print the report, you select the year, and the name of the ward, then click on the "Annual Report" button.
