Assets Exempt from Probate in Nevada Joint Tenancy Property. Joint tenancy is a form of property ownership where two or more individuals own a property equally and includes a right of survivorship. Payable on Death (POD) Accounts. Transferable On Death (TOD) Accounts. Assets in a Trust.
If you die without a will (called dying intestate) or trust leaving property with a title (such as a house or a car or bank account) in your name only, that property will have to be probated which means the Probate Court will transfer the property to a spouse or relative if a probate proceeding is started.
There is no deadline after a person dies to file probate. But various bad things can happen when there is a long delay in filing probate if the assets of the dead person are not protected.
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.
You want the person to be trustworthy, but also must be someone that qualifies under Nevada law. In Nevada, generally someone can serve as an executor if they are 18 years old or older, and have a clean criminal record. Being a resident of State of Nevada matters depending upon the existence of a will.
N.R.S. 136.050(1) says that any person who has possession of a will shall, within 30 days after knowledge of the death of the person who executed the will, deliver it to the district court clerk or deliver it to the person named as the personal representative executor in the will who then has a duty to file it.
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.
