The North Florida Office of Public Guardian, Inc. (OPG), serves adults with mental and/or physical disabilities as their court-appointed legal guardian. These persons are functionally impaired to the extent that they require the protection of court intervention. We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation with a volunteer board of directors made up of community members who are responsible for agency oversight and policy development.
In 1986, the Florida Legislature established OPG, the first public guardianship program in North Florida. OPG operated through the judicial system, serving Leon and six of its surrounding counties. In 2003, OPG became a private, not-for-profit, charitable organization with a local board of directors. Since then, OPG has expanded to serve 22 counties across the Florida Panhandle and increased the capacity to serve from 120 persons to 308 persons.
