The Florida Supreme Court released an opinion on the Petition of the Florida Probate Rules Committee in Case No. SC20-21. The committee developed forms to implement the protections available in Florida Statutes Section 825.1035. The court adopted the rules as proposed.  The opinion can be found here: 

Florida Supreme Court Opinion in Case No. SC20-21

The opinion was effective immediately, It is hoped that the court-sanctioned forms will provide uniformity and efficiency for the process designed to protect some of Florida's most vulnerable citizens.  Even though there was a statutory form, there were reports of courts finding the form legally insufficient.
