Nevada law recognizes three basic types of guardians: Guardians over the person. These guardians are responsible for decisions involving the ward's support, healthcare, and education. Guardians over the estate. These guardians are responsible for financial decisions involving the ward's assets. Guardians over the person and estate. These guardians make both personal and financial decisions for the ward. One person can serve as both guardian of the person and guardian of the estate. Or different people can take each role.
