The Nevada rules, for your attorney
- Probate inventory: due within 120 days after letters issue (NRS 144.010).
- Court-confirmed private sale of a house: generally needs an appraisal made within the year before the sale (NRS 148.260).
- Divorce: community property is divided equally where practicable unless a compelling reason is stated in writing (NRS 125.150); required disclosures include property values (NRCP 16.2).
- Nevada has no inheritance tax, but the date-of-death value still matters for federal basis. We flag the tax question for your adviser and promise no tax result.
