As soon as practical following the person's death. In Nevada, if the total amount of the deceased person's assets exceeds $20,000, or if real estate is involved, probate (or administration) will be required and there is normally no reason to delay starting the process.
That being said, it is never a good idea to delay the inevitable. California Probate Code section 8001 specifies that the executor has 30 days after the decedent's date of death and after learning they are the nominated executor to petition the court for administration of the estate.
Probate is a court-supervised process of transferring property from an individual to their heirs. In Nevada, the law requires that assets worth more than $20,000 go through probate.
In Nevada, these assets are subject to the probate process: Personally-owned property: Anything that was owned by the decedent alone, without a designated beneficiary, will be subject to the probate process. This may include, for example, checking and savings accounts, vehicles, personal belongings, and real estate.
What Assets Are Exempt from Probate in Nevada? Real property titled solely in the name of the decedent or held as a tenant in common. Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles. Bank accounts held solely in the decedent's name.
Trusts Can Help You Avoid Probate Most of the time, Nevada residents do this by creating revocable living trusts. This type of trust is organized and then handed over to a trustee upon the death of the person who created the trust. The trustee then has the right to distribute the property after the decedent's passing.
In Nevada, if the total amount of the deceased person's assets exceeds $25,000, or if real estate is involved, probate (or administration) will be required, and there is normally no reason to delay starting the process.
In Nevada, there is no time limit or “statute of limitations” for when to file for probate. But bad things can happen if you wait too long. Timely filing for probate protects the deceased person's assets and prevents someone with little connection to the deceased from opening probate first.
