1. In a power of attorney for health care, a principal may nominate a guardian of the principal’s person for consideration by the court if guardianship proceedings for the principal’s person are begun after the principal executes the power of attorney.
2. If, after a principal properly executes a nondurable power of attorney for health care pursuant to NRS 162A.790, a court appoints a guardian of the principal’s person, the nondurable power of attorney is terminated. The guardian shall follow any provisions contained in the nondurable power of attorney for health care delineating the principal’s wishes for medical and end-of-life care.
3. If, after a principal properly executes a durable power of attorney for health care pursuant to NRS 162A.790, a court appoints a guardian of the principal’s person, the durable power of attorney for health care is suspended and the agent’s authority is not exercisable unless the court orders the termination of the guardianship, and the power of attorney has not otherwise been terminated pursuant to NRS 162A.270. Upon the court ordering such a termination of the guardianship, the durable power of attorney for health care is effective and no longer suspended pursuant to this subsection and the agent’s authority is exercisable.
