One consolation to a family after the passing of a loved one is to honor his or her wishes. But what happens when those wishes have been unduly influenced and altered based on the frail state of your loved one? Does Florida law provide a remedy?

Your aunt, who never married or had any children, is unfortunately diagnosed with a terminal disease. Although your aunt’s mind remains intact, she begins to become frail and weak, leaving her in constant need of physical help. As a result, you hire a live-in caregiver who will provide your aunt with the 24-hour care needed to perform all of her daily activities including bathing and feeding, as well as driving her to any medical appointments.
