Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada

Statute of limitations - Will

Just to point you in the right direction - when a Will is put into probate, there is a period of time to "contest" the Will. If the "last will" is not found during that time or the Will presented for probate is not contested, then probate is concluded. It is not a called a statute of limitations because it does not apply in the same way in which "statute of limitations" run, but the effect is the same. Off the top of my head, I can't tell you what the time frame is, but it is in the Nevada Statutes Paul referred to and you can look it up.

Hope this helps.

Re: Statute of limitations

Good afternoon, Sir or Madam:

The Nevada Legislature has developed a great basic research site covering

all of the statutes and administrative regulations, including references to

Nevada Supreme Court decisions related thereto, available at:

http://www.leg.state.nv.us

You may want to look into the chapters on Wills on this

site. In this regard, I invite your attention to NRS Chapter 133, which is

found at:

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/CH_133.html

There may be other laws affecting your ability to resolve a decedent's estate problem,

which is necessarily beyond the scope of this reply.

I charge $200.00 per hour for consultation, document review, case analysis,

advice, suggesting and recommending alternatives, legal drafting, telephone

calls, legal research and prosecuting or defending will contests when a client hires me.

If I do not hear back from you by Friday, March 24, 2000, I will assume that you

have answered your questions to your own satisfaction, hired another lawyer,

or decided against pursuing the matter.

I hope this is of assistance to you.
