ABOUT THIS BOOK
Nevada gives people more estate planning tools than most states, and different rules for using them. The Nevada Wills, Trusts & Estates Guide explains those rules for the person making a plan and for the executors, trustees and beneficiaries who carry one out.
The guide explains what makes a will valid under NRS § 133.040, including the age and sound-mind requirements and two witnesses, plus self-proving wills, holographic wills under NRS § 133.090 and electronic wills under NRS § 133.085. It explains how a revocable living trust is created and funded, and how wills are changed or revoked.
It covers Nevada's trust laws: the 365-year rule against perpetuities, the Nevada Asset Protection Trust and its generally two-year challenge period under NRS § 166.170, and directed trusts with investment and distribution trust advisors. It also explains the deed upon death, powers of attorney for health care, community property, intestate succession, no-contest clauses, creditor claims and Nevada's lack of a state estate or inheritance tax.
• Step-by-step walkthroughs for planners and for executors, trustees and beneficiaries
• Comparison tables of transfer methods and financial thresholds
• A sample witness affidavit and spendthrift clause

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Nevada will requirements: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How many witnesses are needed for a will in Nevada?
A formal will needs at least two competent witnesses (NRS § 133.040). A holographic will written in the testator's own hand needs none (NRS § 133.090).
Does a will need to be notarized in Nevada?
No. The guide explains that notarization is not required, and how an optional self-proving affidavit or declaration can simplify probate later (NRS § 133.050).
Is this legal advice?
No. It is legal information in plain language, cited to the law, so you understand your options and know what to ask. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
Is it written for Nevada?
Yes. This guide is written for Nevada law and cites the Nevada statutes and rules it relies on. If your case is in another state, choose that state's edition.
