Probate Forms (NV)
There are a number of state-specific forms you may need when going through the probate process.
This page lists common NV forms and offers help in locating others. While you are welcome to browse these forms, note that the Tasks Tab will guide you through the use of relevant forms at the appropriate times.
General NV Forms
In Nevada, the local District Court handles wills and estate matters.
Below you will find links that allow you to download and use some of the more common NV probate forms (you may want to check with your local court for form preferences):
- Petition for Special Administration - Apply for temporary administration
- Notice of Hearing (sample) - Notify interested parties of upcoming hearing
- Notice to Creditors (sample) - Notify creditors of your appointment
- Certificate of Mailing (sample) - Tell court you made required notices
- Inventory - Consider attaching the EstateExec Inventory Report
- Final Accounting - Consider using EstateExec's Accounting Report
- Receipt (sample) - Get a receipt for a distribution
- Petition for Discharge (sample) - Tell the court you are done
Nevada does not provide state-wide forms, so the above list includes sample forms from Clark and Washoe counties, and you can find more forms at Clark County Probate Forms or Washoe Courts Probate Forms. You may want to check with your local court for their own forms, adapt the above forms to name your county, or work with a lawyer.
In fact, even the individual counties do not provide a standard Petition for Probate (which is the normal way to start the process), because they are encouraging you to use a lawyer for these legal forms. If you really want to, you can find a copy of standard petition for yourself at the Clark County Law Library Reference Desk via the NALS (Number 164-4).
Small NV Estate Forms
Small estates sometimes need only 1 specialized form or affidavit: see Small NV Estates.
