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.
What Is a Survival Action in Nevada? A survival action is brought on behalf of a deceased person when he or she dies before he or she can finish, or file, a personal injury lawsuit. It is designed to compensate the estate for losses that the deceased person suffered before his or her death.
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.
