You need to engage Florida legal counsel to open a guardianship estate in Florida. Once completed, you can petition the NY court to transfer the guardianship proceeding to FL. Depending upon what is involved, it should cost several thousand dollars.
To file for a guardianship in Florida, you would need a Florida attorney. Attorney's fees will likely cost you a minimum of $2500 for a Florida guardianship proceeding. Regards,
