§ 159A.192. Termination of temporary guardianship

1. If a temporary guardianship is terminated and a petition for a general guardianship

has not been filed: (a) The temporary guardian shall immediately turn over all of the protected minor's

property to the protected minor; or (b) If the temporary guardian is awaiting certification from the appropriate authority

acknowledging that the guardian has no further liability for taxes on the estate,

the temporary guardian shall seek approval from the court to maintain possession of

all or a portion of the protected minor's property. 2. If a temporary guardianship is terminated and a petition for general guardianship

has been filed, the temporary guardian of the estate may: (a) Continue possessing the protected minor's property; and (b) Perform the duties of guardian for not more than 90 days after the temporary guardianship

is terminated or until the court appoints another temporary or general guardian. 3. If the death of a protected minor causes the termination of a temporary guardianship

before the hearing on a general guardianship: (a) The temporary guardian of the estate may: (1) Continue possessing the protected minor's property; and (2) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, perform the duties of guardian

for not more than 90 days after the date of the termination of the temporary guardianship

or until the court appoints a personal representative of the estate, if any. If the temporary guardian is awaiting certification from the appropriate authority

acknowledging that the guardian has no further liability for taxes on the estate and

it will take longer than 90 days after the date of the termination of the temporary

guardianship to receive such certification, the temporary guardian must seek approval

from the court to maintain possession of all or a portion of the protected minor's

property until certification is received. (b) If no personal representative has been appointed pursuant to chapter 138 or 139

of NRS, the temporary guardian shall pay all of the final expenses and outstanding

debts of the protected minor to the extent possible using the assets in the possession

of the temporary guardian.
