Generally, a temporary custody order lasts until a hearing is held to determine a more permanent solution. In Nevada, the hearing must be scheduled within 21 days of the issuance of the temporary order, and a decision must be made within five days of the hearing.

Guardians in Nevada must be adults at least 18 years of age. If the ward is a minor child, the court will give preference to a relative. If the ward is an adult, the ward's choice for a guardian will receive preference. If the ward has not stated a preference, courts will give preference to a close relative.

How Long Does a Guardianship Last? A guardianship over an adult lasts until the adult regains the ability to care for himself, or until the adult passes away. A guardianship over a child lasts until the child turns 18.

Nevada Supreme Court Guardianship Rule 5 Ex Parte Communication provides courts with authority to receive ex parte communications when there are significant concerns related to a guardian's compliance with their statutory duties and responsibilities or the protected persons welfare.

The guardian will have to appear at a hearing, and if the guardian is qualified, the judge will sign a "provisional" order to accept the case. The guardian will then have to formally terminate the case in the original state so Nevada can fully transfer the case.

A "special guardianship" may be needed if the adult is of limited capacity, meaning the person can make some, but not all decisions necessary for his or her own care.

If all of the above apply, you may be able to avoid a court order and get a short-term guardianship instead. A short-term guardianship takes effect the day that all required parties sign the document, and automatically expires six months after that date if no sooner date is given.

The guardian must NOT be mentally incompetent. The guardian must be over the age of 18. If the guardian is not a Nevada resident the guardian must designate a registered agent. The guardian cannot have any felony convictions, no matter how old the conviction.
