Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada
My husbands mother passed away in May. We were told she had a living trust, which we have not seen. She had assets (jewlry, savings acct, etc..) when she died. She only has 2 surviving children (adotped). We have not seen a copy of any living trust, we were also told that she had some life insurance policy left to her biological children (who are both dead) and that we will have to complete paper work to receive that. My problem is that we are in NC and she was in NV, and the relatives she was living with will not send us ANYTHING. No copies of death certificates, trusts, not even the policy information for my husband. What are our options?

Good morning.
If there are no trusts, wills, or other testamentary documents that outline how your mother in law's property should be distributed to her heirs, your husband could bring an action here in Nevada. As her biological son he would have a statutory right to a portion of her estate.
Feel free to contact our office if you'd like to discuss further.
