IN RE GUARDIANSHIP OF SCHIAVO

Nos. 2D00-1269, 2D01-1836, and 2D01-1891.

792 So.2d 551 (2001)

In re GUARDIANSHIP of Theresa Marie SCHIAVO, Incapacitated. Robert Schindler and Mary Schindler, Appellants, v. Michael Schiavo, as Guardian of the person of Theresa Marie Schiavo, Appellee. Michael Schiavo, as Guardian of the person of Theresa Marie Schiavo, Appellant, v. Robert Schindler and Mary Schindler, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

July 11, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph D. Magri of Merkle & Magri, P.A., Tampa, for Appellants/Appellees, Robert Schindler and Mary Schindler.

George J. Felos of Felos & Felos, P.A., Dunedin, for Appellee/Appellant, Michael Schiavo.

ALTENBERND, Judge.

In these three related cases involving the pending guardianship proceeding of Theresa Marie Schiavo, we conclude that a final order entered in a guardianship adversary proceeding, requiring the guardian to discontinue life-prolonging procedures, is the type of order that may be challenged by an interested party at any time prior to the death of the ward on the ground that it is no longer equitable to give prospective application to the order.
