Guardianships are necessary when a family member of friend is not able to take care of themselves and/or their finances. A guardian is a person appointed by the court to make personal and/or financial decisions for a minor or incapacitated person.
There are three types of guardianships in Nevada:
- Guardianship over the person
- Guardianship over the estate
- Guardianship over the person and the estate
At the Law Office of Jill Hanlon, we understand that taking care of a loved one can be overwhelming. We assist families in the guardianship process for both children and adults, including:
- Determining if a guardianship is necessary
- Appointing a legal representative to act on behalf of the person or estate of the ward
- Locating and inventorying assets
- Accounting to the court and relatives of the ward
- Petitioning the court for permission to take actions on behalf of the ward
- Terminating the guardianship when it is no longer necessary
Still have questions? Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you.
