To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a temporary guardianship. Either a guardian is appointed by a court or one is not. The guardian remains in power until removed or the ward dies.

As to a Living Will and Living Trust, they are not filed until a party dies. If written in Florida, it will generally be valid in other states, but it would be up to the laws of that state.
