In Nevada probate, fees come from the estate itself — not out of your pocket. Proper representation costs you nothing extra.
We know Clark and Washoe County probate commissioners, their processes, and their schedules.
Cases argued through the NV Court of Appeals, Nevada Supreme Court, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
TriLaw is a litigation firm. When will contests or executor disputes arise, we're built for it.
Probate has hard statutory deadlines. We stay ahead of every filing, notice, and creditor window — no surprises.
One missed notice or improperly filed document can delay the case months. Attorney fees are paid by the estate — not you personally — so there’s little reason not to have representation.
Set Aside: 4-6 weeks. Summary Administration: 4-8 months. General Administration: 6-9 months. The mandatory 90-day creditor window applies to all court cases.
Nevada’s intestate succession laws govern distribution. A court-appointed administrator manages the estate. TriLaw protects your family’s interests under intestate rules.

No. Trusts, accounts with beneficiaries, joint tenancy property, and POD/TOD accounts all pass outside probate. Only individually-held assets without a beneficiary typically require probate.
Yes. Nevada property must go through Nevada probate regardless of where you live. TriLaw handles all local filings and court appearances so you don’t have to travel.
