The North Florida Office of Public Guardian, Inc. (OPG) is a non-profit organization based in Tallahassee, FL, that serves as a court-appointed legal guardian for adults with mental and/or physical disabilities who are unable to manage their own affairs. Established to provide substitute decision-making for individuals in the Big Bend Area who require court intervention, OPG offers quality guardianship services to vulnerable adults who lack family, friends, or resources to obtain a private guardian. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life for their clients, protect against abuse and neglect, and safeguard their fundamental civil rights. As a trusted public guardian, OPG strives to employ substituted judgment, making decisions in the best interests of their clients, while also promoting alternatives to guardianship when appropriate, such as durable power of attorney or medical proxy. Through their dedicated staff and under the direction of the court, OPG aims to provide comprehensive support, advocacy, and protection for individuals with disabilities, ensuring their well-being and dignity are upheld.Generated from the website
