Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada

You don't disclose whether your parents are still together or owned property together. Normally, the surviving spouse will file the will, rather than another designated personal representative. If they are no longer married and your brother is, indeed, the named personal representative of the estate, he is required to file the will with the county where your parent lived at the time of his/her death. Even though required by statute, this may not have occurred if there is a surviving parent (or other individual) who held joint title to all the family assets with the decedent, as a probate may not be necessary until the passing of the second joint owner.

As a legal heir, though, you are entitled to a copy of the will, and you should check with the clerk of the county to find if one is filed there. If a probate is opened and your brother appointed by the court to be the personal representative, he will be required to file an inventory and accounting to disclose all finances of the estate.
