Probate is the legal process used to wrap up the estate of a person who has died. The process involves the collection, inventory and appraisal of assets; handling of will contests and estate disputes; filing and payment of estate taxes, payment and collection of debts; and the distribution of remaining estate assets to rightful beneficiaries.
In Nevada, the size of the estate will determine whether the probate process is relatively straightforward or extremely complex. For smaller estates, an affidavit of entitlement, small estate set aside and summary administration are cost-effective and faster alternatives to general administration. The majority of estates valued over $200,000, however, will be required to go through general probate administration.
