Copy as parenthetical citation

1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 253.215, if a public guardian is appointed as an individual guardian the costs incurred in the appointment proceedings and the administrative costs of the guardian’s services are not chargeable against the income or the estate of the protected person unless the court determines at any time that the protected person is financially able to pay all or part of the costs.

2. The financial ability of the protected person to pay such costs shall be measured according to his or her ability to compensate a private guardian. This ability depends upon:

(a) The nature, extent and liquidity of the protected person’s assets;

(b) The protected person’s disposable net income;

(c) The nature of the guardianship;

(d) The type, duration and complexity of the services required; and

(e) Any other foreseeable expenses.
