Address Change (Guardianship) – Nevada

Address Change (Guardianship), printed on the form as Notice of Change of Address, is the Nevada Supreme Court Self-Help Center form on which a person in a guardianship case reports a new mailing address.

The form is written for a self-represented filer. Page 1 is a court pleading: it carries the filer's contact details, the name of the District Court and the county, the type of guardianship (Person, Estate or Person and Estate), the case number, the department and the name of the protected person. Below the caption, the notice states "PLEASE TAKE NOTICE of the following new mailing address" and gives space for your name, street address, city, state and ZIP, followed by the date and your signature.

Page 2 is a Certificate of Service. It records whether copies of the notice were sent by mail or served electronically under the court's electronic service rules, to which persons and on what date, and it ends with a declaration under penalty of perjury under the law of the State of Nevada.

The Self-Help Center lists the form as Address Change among its Miscellaneous Guardianship Forms. It is not the same as the Notice of Intent to Move Protected Person, a separate form the center lists on its guardianship forms page.

The form is for a self-represented person in a Nevada guardianship case who has a new mailing address and needs to tell the court and the other persons in the case. The caption has a Self-Represented line and asks for "Your Name" and your contact details, so it is written for the person filing it rather than for an attorney.

• You identify the case by the county, the case number, the department and the name of the protected person, so you need those details before you start.
• You mark the case as a guardianship of the Person, the Estate or the Person and Estate.
• You list the persons you served on the certificate of service, either by mail or electronically. Each section has room for eight names.

The form reports your own new mailing address. The Self-Help Center lists a separate Notice of Intent to Move Protected Person for other situations, and this form does not replace it. The form does not describe who else may sign for you.

Use the form when you have a new mailing address to report in an existing guardianship case. The notice announces "the following new mailing address," and the certificate of service on page 2 asks for the date you mailed or electronically served copies, so you complete both at the same time. The form prints no deadline of its own. Because it is captioned with a case number and department, it belongs to a case that is already open.

The form names two ways of serving it: by mail and electronically. It does not print a court filing address, portal or fee.

• By mail: on the certificate of service, check BY MAIL, enter the city in Nevada where you deposited the copies in the U.S. mail and the date, and list each person's name and mailing address.
• Electronic: check ELECTRONIC, enter the date you served the persons under the court's electronic service rules, and list each person's name and email address.

Sign and print your name on page 1, then sign and print your name again under the declaration on page 2. The Self-Help Center publishes the form on its guardianship forms page at https://selfhelp.nvcourts.gov/forms/guardianship-forms, which says you need Adobe Reader to download and use the forms.
