Nevada Petition for Guardianship

Petition for guardianship of a minor, an incompetent adult and/or estate of such person.

Must identify the Guardian(s) and the Ward(s) sufficiently. Minors over 14 must consent to the guardianship. You should identify relationship between the Guardian and the Ward and any other information on form.

Must be filed in District Court with filing fee. Instead of a Summons, Citations are issued by the Clerk and served on the appropriate parents or relatives so they know when the hearing is. You must identify assets of proposed ward.

A hearing will be set and once the Order granting the Guardianship is signed by the judge. The Clerk will then swear in the Guardian and issues Letters of Guardianship.
