NV Probate Forms

There are a number of state-specific forms you may need when going through the probate process.

General Forms

In Nevada, the local District Court handles wills and estate matters.

You can check with your local court for the forms they might prefer, and below you will find some of the more common NV forms:

Petition for Special Administration - Apply for temporary administration
Notice of Hearing - Notify interested parties of upcoming hearing
Notice to Creditors - Notify creditors of your appointment
Certificate of Mailing - Tell court you made required notices
Inventory - Consider attaching the EstateExec Inventory Report
Final Accounting - Consider using EstateExec's Accounting Report
Receipt - Get a receipt for a distribution
Petition for Discharge - 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 Estates

Small estates sometimes need only 1 specialized form or affidavit: see Small NV Estates.
