Finding a New Guardian – Removal of Guardian

They selflessly push their own lives aside to step into that caregiver role for a child whose biological parents are either deceased, unfit, or absent. Sometimes, a guardian becomes the ‘legal spokesperson’ for an elderly or disabled family member when they fall ill or can no longer make competent decisions themselves. Nobody ever imagines a guardian having ill will or not living up to these expectations. Yet, it happens from time to time. When a guardian can no longer provide adequate care, you have a two-step process ahead of you: finding a new guardian and removing the old one. Learn more about how this process works in the State of Nevada below.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”25px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” custom_margin=”-25px|||||”] A guardian acts as another person’s legal caretaker — both adult and child. For example, an adult may petition for guardianship over their elderly parent who has dementia. Or, an aunt may become a guardian to their nephew with drug-addicted parents. In the eyes of Nevada law, a guardian must:- Provide a roof over their head
- Keep them clothed, fed, and healthy
- Be able to meet their needs
- Have the income to support them
- Be a better fit than the current guardian (if applicable)
- Look after a person’s estate and assets
Why Would You Want to Remove a Guardian?
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px”] Unfortunately, not all guardianships are as sweet and touching as in the movies, such as the children’s flick Matilda in the 1990s. You can’t walk into court and beg a judge to remove a guardian after an argument or because you want your ‘freedom’ back — that rarely flies in the courtroom. Instead, according to NRS 159.185, a judge may decide to remove a guardian if they’re:- Struggling financially and filed for bankruptcy in the last half-decade
- Mismanaging the subject’s estate
- Not providing shelter, clothing, food, or other basic needs
- Abusing or neglecting the protected person
- Mentally or physically unfit to carry out the duties
Can You Terminate a Guardianship?
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px”] Sometimes, the explanation for removing a guardian is less about the guardian’s ability to care and more about the protected person. For example, you can terminate a guardianship if:- The child’s parents can resume caring for the child
- An incompetent adult regains their faculties and decision-making skills
- Either the guardian or protected person dies
- Another person is willing to fill the role
Who Can Petition to Remove a Guardian?
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px”] If a guardian is abusing the child or siphoning their parent’s estate into their own account, they won’t report themselves to remove their guardianship role. That’s why, in Nevada, anyone can petition to remove a guardian. That includes the protected person, their spouse, a first or second-degree relative, parents forfeiting their rights, a public guardian, or another person who’d like to be their guardian. All Nevada requires is proof that the current guardian is unfit and that the petition is filed in good faith (ex: you aren’t trying to get revenge or take advantage of the protected person).
