I was sued in Florida by a church that was the beneficiary of a trust. The bank accounts were left to me, my children, and my ex-daughter-in-law by Pay on Death. I lost my appeal in Florida, and now have a judgment against me.

Should we stop her from coming to work unless she provides a doctor's notice stating she is eligible to work, despite her injuries? Should we hire a lawyer, or should we let our insurance handle everything?

I am an 84-year-old guardian of a 52-year-old mentally handicapped daughter. I tried filing her annual Guardianship plan with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, but it was returned specifying the need for an 'Order approving the plan'. Do I mail the Guardianship Plan somewhere to have the plan attached? Or do I just include a blank Order form and if so, where do I get the Form and where do I mail the completed package?
