Planning for your estate is about you and your loved ones. It ensures that your wishes are recognized. If you simply communicate your last wishes verbally, loved ones may be confused about what you want or misinterpret your intentions. In addition, what you direct is not enforceable by a court.

When you work with Half Price Lawyers in Las Vegas, NV, you have a team of caring lawyers who provide professional, skilled services at an affordable rate. Let us help you with your wills, trusts and estate needs, including:
Anyone over the age of 18 who is of sound mind can make a will in Nevada (NRS 133.020)1.
A will must be in writing and signed. In addition, two witnesses must sign in the presence of the person making the will. The requirements to make a will in Nevada are from NRS 133.0402. In addition, Nevada laws 133.087-133.0883 allow for signing, witnessing and notarizing a will electronically.
Nevada law 133.0454 allows you to create a list of personal property gifts. The list goes along with the will. You can create it before or after you make the will, and you can change it later. Be sure to date the list, state the purpose and reference the original will.
Yes, Nevada recognizes out-of-state wills. Nevada law 133.0805 allows for the enforcement of out-of-state wills if they comply with that state’s law.
A trust is an entity that owns property. It can contain real property or money. It can start while the person is still living. The person who creates the trust may manage and control their own property during their lifetime. From an estate planning perspective, there are some circumstances in which having a trust is better for the protection of assets, privacy and ease of transfer.
Yes, a trust needs to be notarized. Nevada law allows for electronic notarization.
Nevada trust laws are found in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 1636. The laws create requirements for how to create a trust, fund it with property and manage it.
If you die without a will in Nevada, who gets your belongings depends on what surviving relatives you have. Your spouse inherits community property, but they may have to share assets with children or siblings. In addition, some property, mostly financial accounts, does not pass through the inheritance process at all. Disposition of property without a will is complex, so it’s always best to prepare official documents stating your last wishes.
Whether it is better to have a will or a trust depends on your specific circumstances and what you want to accomplish. It’s also vital to address durable power of attorney and healthcare power of attorney needs with any estate plan. An estate planning lawyer can learn about your specific circumstances and recommend the best plan for your unique needs and wishes.
