Chapter 159 - Guardianships
NRS 159.197 - Delivery of physical possession of property of ward; petition to modify title to such property; handling property of deceased ward.

1. After the winding up of the affairs of the guardianship, the guardian shall deliver physical possession of all of the ward s property to the ward, the personal representative or the successor guardian, as the case may be, and obtain a receipt of the delivery of the property.

2. Before the guardian delivers physical possession of the ward s property to the personal representative and upon sufficient evidence of prior title, the guardian may petition the court to have the title to the property modified, on a pro rata basis, to reflect the manner in which title was held before the guardianship was established so that the property is distributed to the intended beneficiary or former joint owner of the property.

3. If the guardianship has terminated by reason of the death of the ward, the court, by order, may authorize the guardian to handle the deceased ward s property in the same manner as authorized by NRS 146.070 or 146.080, if the gross value of the property, less encumbrances, and less fees, costs and expenses that are approved by the court, remaining in the hands of the guardian does not exceed the amount authorized pursuant to NRS 146.070 or 146.080.
