Rule 1 Scope of rules

These rules explain how guardianship cases work in Nevada's district courts. If you are asking the court to become someone's guardian, or if you already are a guardian, these are the rules the court will follow when handling your case.

You do not need a lawyer to file for guardianship or to serve as a guardian. But if you decide to handle your case without a lawyer, you still have to follow the same rules that apply to everyone else. The court will not treat your case differently just because you do not have an attorney helping you.
