ANSTEAD, HARRY LEE, Associate Judge, dissenting:

I would reverse and remand for reconsideration, if not a full rehearing, because the trial court apparently misinterpreted the opinion in Bryan v. Century Nat'l Bank, 498 So.2d 868 (Fla. 1986), to require prior court approval for a valid personal services contract entered into with, and for the benefit of, the ward of a voluntary property guardianship.
