provisions of NRS 225.380 .

already been designated for the person, if the court determines that two or
more different designations exist and each designation is valid, the most
recent designation shall be deemed to be the controlling designation.

has already been designated for the person, the application for guardianship
cannot proceed unless the court revokes the designation.
