A community property state, with a survivorship option

Under NRS § 111.064 and § 111.065, Nevada spouses can hold real estate as community property with right of survivorship, while any co-owners can hold it as joint tenants, which requires equal shares. See our full breakdown of Nevada community property and joint tenancy rules.

A TOD deed with its own Nevada name

Nevada adopted the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act in 2011, but its own statute specifically calls the instrument a "Deed Upon Death" rather than a transfer-on-death deed. See our full guide to the Nevada Deed Upon Death, including its formal notice requirement to the state Medicaid agency.

Bank accounts follow a specific list of magic words

Nevada law names six specific words or phrases that trigger the joint tenancy presumption on a bank account. See our guide to Nevada beneficiary and P.O.D. accounts.

Where this feeds into other Nevada calculators

The probate-estate total from this tool is the starting point for Nevada's probate cost and executor fee calculators, and for checking Nevada's small estate procedures. Nevada has no state estate or inheritance tax, so this total doesn't feed into a separate state tax calculation.

Nevada estate value — frequently asked questions

Does jointly owned real estate skip probate in Nevada?

Yes, if held as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as community property with right of survivorship. Both forms pass automatically to the surviving owner at death without probate.

What is Nevada's transfer on death deed officially called?

A Deed Upon Death. Nevada adopted the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act in 2011, but its own statute specifically names the instrument a Deed Upon Death rather than a transfer-on-death deed.

Does a Nevada Deed Upon Death protect property from Medicaid estate recovery?

No. Property transferred by a Deed Upon Death remains subject to Medicaid estate recovery, and the beneficiary must give notice to the state Medicaid agency along with other creditors after the owner's death.

What words create a joint tenancy on a Nevada bank account?

Unless the depositor specifically provides otherwise, the words joint, joint account, jointly held, joint tenants, joint tenancy, or joint tenants with right of survivorship all indicate an intent to hold the account in joint tenancy.

Is Nevada a community property state?

Yes. Spouses generally own property acquired during the marriage jointly, and Nevada specifically allows community property to be held with an added right of survivorship, which passes it automatically to the surviving spouse.
