Figures are based on Nevada statute (NRS 145.040, 146.070, 147.040), as amended by SB 404 (effective October 1, 2025). Actual timelines depend on the specific District Court and whether the estate is contested. Confirm current timelines with the District Court or a licensed Nevada attorney before acting.
