NO. That is not correct. Under Nevada law where someone dies without a will and the property goes to the siblings, if one of the siblings has predeceased (died before) the person leaving the estate, the descendants of the predeceased sibling take that sibling's share. See N.R.S. 134.060 and my website, www.probatenevada.net
