Guardianship Statutory Process

The court decides whether guardianship should be granted through a statutory process outlined in state law, Nevada Revised Statues, Section 159 . In Clark County, guardianship cases are decided in Family Courts & Services, a division of Clark County District Court, located at 601 N. Pecos Road. The process includes petitioning the court, notifying the potential ward and family members, identifying the potential wards resources, and stating the reason guardianship is needed.
