Selected
Guardian
My first reaction, since I have only seen a few references to this law and what it regulates. If it covers the field of looking after sick and aged people, then carer would also be possible.

Which, although Scottish (can you trust men who wear skirts?) looks exactly like what you need here.

Note from asker:
| Would Guardianship Act/Guardian work as an umbrella term (see below for explanation of what I mean by this), do you think? Dietl/Lorenz are supportive of this being applicable. The definition reads "Das Institut der Betreuung ersetzt seit dem Betreuungsgesetz von 1990 die früheren Rechtsinstitute der Vormundschaft über Volljährige, der Entmündigung und der Pflegschaft über Gebrechliche". |

Deputy
Deputy is the legal term (comparatively new) in use for persons appointed by the Court of Protection of England and Wales to look after the affairs of persons who have attained their majority but who for various reasons are incapable of looking after their own affairs.
See the publication of the Court of Protection available on line at http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/protecting-the-vulnerabl...
The Wikipedia entry on the Court of Protection is also useful as background.

(Scots) Curatory > (E&W) Receivership > Act of 1990 - (Scots) Curator > (E&W) Receiver
Deputy is indeed right up-to-date for E&W. But no target-audience specified.
Roman civil-law Scotland uses curator and curatory, not curatorship as of an art gallery or a museum.

1990 Care Act
I have also found sources for Guardianship Act and Caretaking Act
"The Care Act (Betreuungsgesetz) which entered into force as far back as the end of the last period under report, improved the protection of privacy and freedom for adults who were protected by guardianship or curatorship" http://en.glosbe.com/en/en/curatorship
"122 The case for the former is supported by evaluations found in the Guardianship Act (Betreuungsgesetz) of September 12, 1090." https://litigation-essentials.lexisnexis.com/webcd/app?actio...

Reference:
BGB translation
In the English translation of the BGB, Betreuer is translated as custodian, or legal custodian. But maybe this would confuse people in the UK.
Example sentence:
If a person of full age, by reason of a mental illness or a physical, mental or psychological handicap, cannot in whole or in part take care of his affairs, the custodianship court, on his application or of its own motion, appoints a custodian for him.
Kann ein Volljähriger auf Grund einer psychischen Krankheit oder einer körperlichen, geistigen oder seelischen Behinderung seine Angelegenheiten ganz oder teilweise nicht besorgen, so bestellt das Betreuungsgericht auf seinen Antrag oder von Amts wegen
