families. He founded J.A.C.D. in honor of Joshua and Christian
DeMello, his twins who tragically drowned at 13 months old.
Keynote speaker for the evening, Paul Lagergren, Jr.,
shared his personal experience with Live Like Jake following
the nonfatal drowning accident of his 18-month-old daughter,
Penelope. Lagergren recounted how, while struggling to pay the
medical bills required to keep Penelope alive, Live Like Jake
reached out offering help.
“For every child who drowns, there are nearly three times as Francisco Manrique and John D’Auria and Janis Lee Petereit and Andrea
many who survive, but suffer serious injuries as a result,” says Allyson Sullivan Evans Eric Lupton and Diana Davis Fogarty
Morrison. “Live Like Jake is there to support those families as
well, which makes every dollar raised critical for those families
in need on a daily basis.”
Additional funds were raised during the event’s exclusive
diamond fundraiser. Guests purchased glasses of champagne
with the chance of winning an authentic, brilliant round diamond
worth $10,000 (including setting and chain), courtesy of IberJoya
Diamonds and The Owen Group. Lucky guest Allyson Sullivan
was the proud winner of the night who later took to the floor to
join the dance party under the “moon and stars.”

In a real estate transaction, a homeowner’s association
is permitted 10 days after receipt of a written or electronic
request for the estoppel certificate to issue the certificate.
The association is permitted to charge a fee for the service,
but it must be set by written resolution of the Board.
While the grantor of a revocable trust is of capacity
and living, the grantor retains all duties and privileges of
the trustee. Upon the death of the grantor, a revocable trust
becomes irrevocable. The successor trustee assumes the
duties of the trustee, but not all rights the grantor held will
pass to the successor trustee.
Florida law allows both voluntary and involuntary
guardianships. A voluntary guardianship may be
established for an adult who, though mentally competent,
is incapable of managing his or her own estate and who
voluntarily petitions for the appointment. A plenary
guardian is a person appointed by the court to exercise
all delegable legal rights and powers of the adult ward
after the court makes a finding of incapacity. Wards in
plenary guardianships are, by definition, unable to care for
themselves.
