Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada

Family Law?

My 23 year old son died in Jan, he has a 4 month old and a 3 year old with his girlfriend whom he lived with for 3 years. Girlfriend put in for temporary administrator of his affairs and was granted it. My son had an old toyota truck(paid for) and a new motorcycle(has loan on) girlfriend is sueing for me to give truck and motorcycle to her. I was hoping to give my son's truck and cycle to his younger brother who he was very close to. Is this a simple law, or up to the judge to decide? A side note - She has temporary administrator, however I have paid all funeral bills etc.

Re: Family Law?

Your funeral bill claims should be filed with the probate Court and sworn to as true and accurate, in order to be paid. The parent of a minor child of a decedent is permitted to apply for and obtain letters of administration, as is a parent of a decedent. Whoever requests and obtains the appointment is required by law to collect and distribute or liquidate all assets of the decedent, except for family support exemptions. The decedent's brother, therefore, has no claim to any particular asset, including vehicles. Your attorney can explain further.
