If a will is valid in the state it was created in, then (with some exceptions having to do with community property) it is generally valid here.

I don't practice Nevada law, and you should seek the advice of a Nevada attorney as to whether or not the will is valid there.

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 125,

which is found at:

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-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 probate actions when a client hires me.

The Nevada State Bar provides this general information online

regarding lawyer fees:

If I do not hear back from you by Friday, September 21, 2001, 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.
