Forty days after their death, you can file the affidavit in the local Probate Court in the county where the deceased resided. For example, if your loved one lived or died in Clark County, you would file with the county recorder in Clark County Probate Court. You will need to pay a small fee for recording the affidavit.

Use the Court Locator and find the probate court where the decedent was a resident. The State filing fee is $435. Request further instructions from the court clerk on the process in the county.

The executor appointed by the will can be any person named in a will, with certain restrictions. However, an administrator appointed by a probate court must be a close relative or someone nominated to serve as guardian for minor children if there is no other suitable candidate.

Nevada probate follows this general flow: contact the court, get appointed as personal representative, submit will if it exists, inventory and submit valuations of all relevant assets, have the court and beneficiaries approve it, and then distribute the assets to beneficiaries.

How Much Does an Estate Have to be Worth to go to Probate in Nevada? Probate is a court-supervised process of transferring property from an individual to their heirs. In Nevada, the law requires that assets worth more than $20,000 go through probate.

Nevada law allows a simplified process for estates that do not include real property (homes or land) and are less than $25,000 (not including the value of vehicles). This simplified process also works for surviving spouses of decedents whose estates do not include real property and are less than $100,000.
