How can a guardian be removed from their position?

In Nevada, a guardian can be removed from their position for a number of reasons. The most common reason for removal is if the guardian is found to be unfit. This could include neglecting the ward, mismanaging their finances, or having a history of criminal activity that puts the ward in danger. Other reasons that a guardian might be removed include if the ward objects to the guardianship or if the court believes that the guardianship is no longer necessary. A guardian may also be removed if there has been a change in circumstances or if the guardian is no longer able to serve due to illness, disability, or death. No matter the reason for the removal, the process must be done through the court. The court will review the guardian’s fitness and make a decision on whether or not they should be removed. If the guardian is removed, the court will appoint another guardian to care for the ward and manage their finances.
