How do you remove a guardian?

In Nevada, removing a guardian begins with filing a Petition to Appoint or Remove a Guardian with the court. The Petition must list reasons why the guardian needs to be removed. The court will then issue an Order To Show Cause, which requires the petitioner to appear before the court and explain the reasons for the removal. The court will hear testimony and consider any evidence presented before making a decision. If the court decides to remove the guardian, it will issue an Order of Removal, which must be served to the guardian. The guardian then has 10 days to respond and challenge the order, or else they must vacate their guardianship. The court may also order the guardian to pay for any costs associated with the guardianship, including attorney’s fees, before vacating the guardianship. The court may also require the guardian to provide an accounting of all funds and property held in the guardianship before it is vacated. This accounting must be filed with the court, and any remaining funds must be returned to the adult or person for whom the guardian was appointed. If the order is not successfully challenged or complied with, the guardian will be removed from the guardianship and the court may appoint another guardian to oversee the adult or person. The new guardian will be required to file a bond with the court, undergo a background check, and follow all other state laws.
