Introduction

The Carson City Public Guardian (CCPG) serves as guardian, by court appointment, for vulnerable adults aged 18 or older who are unable to manage their personal and/or financial affairs. CCPG coordinates provision of services; provides informed consents; and protects, preserves, and manages the assets of our protected persons.

The CCPG is considered the guardian of last resort when there is no family member, friend, or other appropriate person to perform the duties as a guardian.
The CCPG only serves as guardian for those who qualify as a current resident of Carson City, and are within the scope of NRS 253.200 which outlines the qualifications for whom the public guardian of the county may be appointed.

If you are looking for assistance in filing a petition for guardianship of a loved one or friend, please see the State of Nevada’s Self-Help Center under our Helpful Links section.

Guardianship is not an immediate emergency intervention. If you have any suspicions of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation, please report to one of the following agencies:
