Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada
My mother-in-law passed away in April leaving no will, and two timeshares in Las Vegas in her name only trying to figure out what form or name of deed to use, to transfer it too her husbands name.

An Affidavit Terminating Joint Tenancy should be sufficient. This must be recorded.
My friend Mr. Smith assumed in his answer that the two timeshares were in the name of both husband and wife in which case his answer is absolutely correct. If, however, the timeshares were only in the name of your mother in law then there must be a Nevada probate to transfer title. Timeshares are real estate and must be probated in the state in which they are located. I discuss probate of timeshares on my website at this page:
