OPG (Office of the Public Guardian)

The Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) is a UK government agency responsible for managing certain legal matters for people who cannot make decisions for themselves due to mental incapacity. It administers protections like Deputieship and Guardianship, ensuring individuals' financial, healthcare, and welfare interests are looked after properly. The OPG also oversees the registration of Lasting Powers of Attorney, which allows people to designate trusted individuals to make decisions on their behalf in future. Its goal is to safeguard vulnerable individuals and promote their well-being within the legal framework.
