Our Nevada estate administration lawyers have extensive experience and approach each case with compassion. We prioritize personal communication and provide creative legal solutions throughout the complexities of probate and an estate settlement.
Understanding The Nevada Probate Process
Nevada probate is the court-supervised process of distributing a deceased person’s assets. The probate process in Nevada varies based on the total value of the estate. There are four primary levels of administration:
- Affidavit of entitlement: For estates under $25,000 (or $150,000 for surviving spouses) – NRS 146.080
- Set aside: For estates not exceeding $150,000 – NRS 146.070
- Summary administration: For estates valued up to $500,000 – NRS Chapter 145
- General administration: For estates exceeding $500,000
A Las Vegas probate lawyer can help you meet all court deadlines and make sure that you are accurately fulfilling your executor responsibilities. At Goldsmith & Guymon P.C., our probate lawyers can help you inventory assets, notify creditors and distribute property according to the law.
What Do You Need To Know About The Administration Of A Trust?
Unlike probate, trust administration often occurs outside of the courtroom. This process can be non-judicial or judicial, depending on the complexity of the trust and the cooperation of the beneficiaries. Our trust administration services help trustees manage assets, file necessary tax returns and follow the specific instructions left by the grantor.
Sometimes disputes arise between family members or beneficiaries. We also provide representation for probate litigation when you must contest a will or resolve trust disagreements. An experienced probate and trust administration attorney protects your interests during these difficult transitions.
