Sure, at some point, a judge might need to make a ruling that indeed someone should submit to guardianship.

That point is not at an ex-parte hearing as the very first step in the process. The Clark County guardianship commissioner, Jon Norheim. Seems to be at the heart of this. His bad rulings are how the system was not able to prevent this stuff from happening. Some blame also lies with the apparent lack of any appeal options against his decisions.



I agree. I'm not sure how anyone was willing to set up the rules and laws such that it was so easy to make such a ruling.

One such hearing took just over a minute. You could likely drag out a parking ticket hearing longer than that
