Nevada Code § 159.101

1. A guardian of the estate may exercise
the rights of the protected person which accrue pursuant to the ownership of
the protected person of common or preferred stock, including, but not limited
to, the right to:
(a) Vote for officers or directors;
(b) Approve or disapprove mergers or
consolidations;
(c) Exercise stock options;
(d) Appoint proxies;
(e) Consent to dissolutions; and
(f) Exercise all rights which the protected person
might exercise, if legally qualified, regarding the management of the
corporation.
If the stock
owned by the protected person in a corporation exceeds 20 percent of the total
issued and outstanding stock having voting rights, the guardian must have prior
approval of the court to consent to any merger, consolidation or dissolution of
the corporation or the sale or encumbrance of its assets where the consent of
the stockholders is required by law.
2. Whenever the estate of a protected
person includes corporate stock, the guardian may hold it in the name of a
nominee without mention of the guardianship in the stock certificate, if any,
or the stock registration books, if:
(a) The guardians records and all reports or
accounts rendered by the guardian clearly show the ownership of the stock by
the estate of the protected person and the facts regarding its holding; and
(b) The nominee deposits with the guardian a
signed statement showing ownership of the stock by the estate of the protected
person, endorses any stock certificate in blank and does not have possession of
the stock certificate or access to the certificate except under the immediate
supervision of the guardian.
3. The guardian is personally liable for
any loss to the estate of the protected person resulting from any act of the
nominee in connection with stock held pursuant to subsection 2.
