Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada
My Father recently passed away and had no will. He lived with and was engaged to his fiance for 5 years. All utilities including the lease on the home they were living in was in his name. Is the woman liable for the last utility and lease expenses?

Not necessarily. There's an argument that the father's estate is liable. Even if there is no will, a probate could be opened. Creditors could force an estate to be probated.
