FAQ
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.
Although you can open a probate or administration yourself, it is strongly recommended that you seek the assistance of an attorney who has experience with estate matters.
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.
Initiating the probate process in Nevada requires filing a petition (probate form) with the appropriate court (usually the district court where the deceased lived or owned property). This step is crucial as it officially opens the probate 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.
Once the will is lodged, you can begin the formal probate process by filing a petition. This petition must be submitted to the district court in the county where the deceased person lived at the time of their death, as outlined in NRS 136.010.
In Nevada, the small estate affidavit is valid for estates worth less than $25,000, not including the value of any vehicles. The estate also must not include any real property, such as a home or land. The limit is higher, $100,000, if there is a surviving spouse.
In a routine probate proceeding, you can expect a minimum probate period of from 120 to 180 days. This allows for publication of creditor notices and gives creditors time to file claims. However, probate and estate administra- tion often take much longer if complications arise.
When should a probate be opened? As soon as practical following the person's death. 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.
