Starting a guardianship case in Nevada is simple. You file a petition asking the court to name someone as guardian. That petition can ask for different types of guardianship, depending on what the situation calls for.
You can ask to be a temporary guardian, which usually covers urgent short-term needs. You can also ask to be a general guardian or a special guardian, depending on how much authority is needed. The petition can also focus on guardianship over the person, over their estate (meaning their money and property), or both.
The key thing to remember is that filing this petition is the official first step. Nothing happens in a guardianship case until this document is filed with the court. Once it's filed, the case moves forward from there.
