1. The mere fact that an account of an older person or a vulnerable person is held in joint tenancy pursuant to NRS 100.085 does not, in and of itself, convey to all persons named on the account legal ownership of the account and the deposits and proceeds of the account in a manner that would preclude such a person from committing or being prosecuted for exploitation involving the control or conversion of any deposits or proceeds of the account if the facts and circumstances demonstrate that exploitation has occurred, regardless of whether the intent to commit exploitation arose before, during or after the creation of the account. 2. Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve the State of its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the crime of exploitation.
