New deputy report forms announced by OPG
On Tuesday 1 March 2016, the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) will introduce new and improved deputy report forms.
Property and financial decisions (OPG102) and health and welfare decisions (OPG104), will replace the existing combined form.
The OPG are also introducing a shorter version of the OPG102, known as the OPG103. Existing property and finance deputies assessed under minimal supervision will be asked to complete the OPG103, when they report for the first time.
All other deputies, both new and old, will be asked to complete either the OPG102 or OPG104 depending on their court order.
As part of the new forms, professional and public authority deputies will be asked for more information about their fees and charges, using the new professional fees insert (OPG105) or the public authority deputy fees insert (OPG106).
From Tuesday 1 March 2016 until Thursday 1 September 2016, deputies can use either the old or new version of these forms to complete and submit a deputy report. However, after Thursday 1 September 2016, we’ll no longer accept the old version of the form.
