Nev. panel calls for guardianship system reforms
By Colton Lochhead, Las Vegas Review-Journal
A Nevada Supreme Court commission on Thursday called for sweeping reforms of the state’s guardianship system in hopes of better protecting the state’s growing elderly and infirm population.
The 236-page report comes as a culmination of 15 months’ worth of commission meetings dating back to June 2015 and includes dozens of recommendations for changes in guardianship law, policy and court rules.
Most notably, the report calls for all people under guardianship to have the right to an attorney, which is not currently granted in Nevada.
