An Affidavit of Heirship is a legal document used to establish the heirs of a deceased person and their respective interests in the deceased person's estate when the deceased person dies without a will (intestate) or when there are uncertainties about the heirs and their inheritance rights.

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.

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).

You can file the will at the clerk's office for the Eighth Judicial District Court, which is located on the 3rd floor of the Regional Justice Center at 200 Lewis Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89155 or at the Family Courts and Services Center at 601 N. Pecos Road, Las Vegas, NV 89101.

In Nevada, the law requires that assets worth more than $20,000 go through probate. There are many other factors that can affect how much an estate has to be worth in order for it to go through probate.

A ballpark fee for preparation of the affidavit is between $750 for a very simple estate with few heirs to several thousand dollars for a more complicated estate with many heirs. The filing fees to record the affidavit in each county where the real property is located usually run about $50 to $75 in Texas.
