The Nevada PR-4 Petition for Letters of Special Administration is a legal document used to appoint an individual or individuals to manage the estate of a deceased person in the event that the deceased did not have a valid will. The petition is filed in the county in which the deceased resided at the time of their death. There are two types of Nevada PR-4 Petition for Letters of Special Administration: General Special Administration and Limited Special Administration. General Special Administration is the most commonly used type of petition for letters of special administration and is used when the deceased did not have a valid will. This type of petition provides the appointed individual with broad powers to manage the estate of the deceased. This includes such things as collecting debts, paying expenses, disbursing funds, and filing necessary paperwork. Limited Special Administration is a type of Nevada PR-4 Petition for Letters of Special Administration which is used when the deceased has a valid will in place. This type of petition is limited in scope and grants the appointed individual limited powers to manage the estate of the deceased. Examples of such powers include the power to collect debts, pay expenses, and disburse funds from the estate. However, the appointed individual does not have the power to file any paperwork related to the estate.
