By Nevada law all wills must be filed with the local court. However, often, this is not done unless one or more people want the will admitted to probate. You can go to the county courthouse in the county in which the decedent was a resident when he died and see if either a will was filed or a probate proceeding begun. Some of the counties, such as Nevada's most populous, Clark, have an online system where you can see if a probate proceeding was begun. I do not know what you mean by a secondary will.
