      Fonctions et activités

      The Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee (OPGT) plays a vital role in representing and protecting the personal and property interests of people deemed incapable of handling their affairs, protecting the public's interest in charities, searching for heirs, investing perpetual care funds, and dealing with dissolved corporations.

      The OPGT operates out of six offices located throughout the province to provide a variety of services, including: managing the financial and/or personal affairs of mentally incapable individuals pursuant to the Substitute Decisions Act where no one else is able to do so; making medical treatment decisions for mentally incapable people where no one else is able to do so; administering the estates of intestate persons who have no heirs in Ontario; dealing with property owned by dissolved Ontario corporations; and, investigating allegations of serious harm against vulnerable adults. The Office also has responsibility as the Accountant of the Superior Court of Justice, and is responsible for retaining all money, mortgages and securities paid into or lodged with the Court on behalf of minors and litigants, as well as protecting the public interest in charitable property.

      The Public Guardian and Trustee is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, and must be a lawyer who has been a member of the Ontario bar for at least ten years.
