Can you help if the estate is complicated or involves disputes?
Yes, we can assist with preparing and organizing documents for complex estates. However, for cases involving legal disputes, contested wills, or out-of-state assets, we recommend working with a probate attorney. If needed, we’re happy to refer you to a qualified legal professional familiar with Nevada probate law.
How long does the probate process take in Nevada?
Probate can take anywhere from 3 months to over a year. Smaller estates with no disputes move faster, especially when documents are correctly filed from the start.
