A Nevada General Letters of Guardianship is a legal document that is issued by a court in the state of Nevada to appoint an individual or an organization as the guardian of a minor or incapacitated adult. This document grants the guardian the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of the minor or incapacitated adult. There are two types of Nevada General Letters of Guardianship: guardianship of the person and guardianship of the estate. A guardianship of the person grants the guardian the authority to make decisions regarding the minor or incapacitated adult's medical care, living arrangements, education, leisure activities, and other matters related to the welfare of the individual. A guardianship of the estate grants the guardian the authority to manage the financial affairs of the minor or incapacitated adult. The guardian must adhere to certain legal requirements and is responsible for maintaining accurate records of all decisions made on behalf of the minor or incapacitated adult. The guardianship will end when the minor or incapacitated adult reaches the age of majority, or when a court orders it to be terminated.
