Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada

unwilling trust successor

My deceased mother's original trust names my aunt as successor. If she is unwilling or unable, then I am named successor. The amendment to the trust names me as successor. We can't find the orig. amendment, and my aunt is unwilling to be the successor. What form(s), procedure do we need to have me become the successor?

Re: unwilling trust successor

In Washoe County, Nevada WDCR Rule 57.3, governing the Probate commissioner, applies:

1. The Second Judicial District Court has approved automatic referral of all probate and trust proceedings under Title 12 and chapters 162 through 167 of Title 13 of the NRS to a master, designated in Rule 57 as the �probate commissioner.�

A petition to appoint a successor trustee should be filed and served in accordance with Nevada law. Your attorney can explain further.
