Does every estate in Nevada go through probate?
No. Assets held in joint tenancy, in a living trust, or with designated beneficiaries (retirement accounts, life insurance, TOD accounts) pass outside probate. Small estates under $25,000 (personal property) may use an affidavit procedure under NRS 146.080.
How long does probate take in Nevada?
Standard probate in Clark County takes 6β12 months. Complex estates with disputes, multiple creditors, or out-of-state property can take 18β36 months. Summary administration (estates under $100,000) is faster, typically 2β4 months.
What are the costs of probate in Nevada?
Court filing fees, attorney fees (typically 2β4% of estate value), executor fees, appraisal costs, and publication fees. A $500,000 estate might incur $15,000β$30,000 in probate costs. A living trust set up in advance typically costs $1,500β$3,000 and avoids all probate costs.
Can I contest a will in Nevada?
Yes. A will contest must be filed within 30 days of the will being admitted to probate in Nevada (NRS 137.010). Grounds include lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution. Will contests are expensive and rarely successful without strong evidence.
