Nevada has its own trust law — not the Uniform Trust Code. NRS 164.410 requires the certification to be an affidavit signed and acknowledged by all currently acting trustees. Generic templates miss that or carry the wrong notary block — and get rejected at the bank or title company.

What’s Inside the Template Kit

Everything required to certify a Nevada trust to a third party under NRS 164.410. Editable Word file plus print-ready PDF you can open, fill in, print, and notarize today.

  • Certification of Trust Template. Fill-in-the-blank Word document built to NRS 164.410 that covers all 7 facts the statute lists: trust existence & date, settlor and trustee identity, trustee powers and restrictions, revocability, co-trustee signing authority, the trust’s identifying number, and the form of title to trust assets.
  • Affidavit, All Trustees Sign. Nevada requires the certification to be an affidavit signed and acknowledged by all currently acting trustees — the template provides a signature and acknowledgment block for every trustee, not just one.
  • Nevada Acknowledgment. The Nevada short-form acknowledgment under NRS 240.166 — the correct Nevada form, not a generic out-of-state acknowledgment that gets documents bounced at the notary table.
  • “Not Revoked” Statement. The statutorily required statement that the trust has not been revoked or amended in any way that would make the certification incorrect, and that the signatures are those of all currently acting trustees.
  • Reliance & Enforceability Block. Language under NRS 164.430 confirming that a person who relies in good faith may assume the facts without inquiry and that the transaction is enforceable against trust assets, plus the NRS 164.420 excerpts provision.
  • Identifying-Number & Title Fields. Built for Nevada’s specifics: the trust’s SSN or EIN, and the exact form in which title to trust assets is taken.
  • Step-by-Step Fill-In Instructions. Plain-English guide to every field, written specifically for Nevada trustees — not a generic 50-state instruction sheet.
  • Both Formats Included. Editable Microsoft Word (.docx) for filling in on your computer, plus a print-ready PDF if you prefer to complete it by hand.

Nevada NRS 164.410 — The Law at a Glance

Nevada has its own certification statute, and NRS 164.410 takes a distinct approach. Generic UTC templates miss it. Here’s what Nevada actually requires.

Purpose of the Document

Lets a trustee confirm trust existence and key terms to a third party in lieu of the full trust instrument, without revealing dispositive provisions.

7 Listed Facts

Trust existence & date, settlor and trustee identity, trustee powers and restrictions, revocability, co-trustee authority, identifying number, and form of title.

Affidavit, All Trustees

Nevada requires the certification to be an affidavit signed and acknowledged by all currently acting trustees.

Nevada Acknowledgment

Signed before a Nevada notary using the short-form acknowledgment under NRS 240.166.

Reliance & Enforceability

NRS 164.430: a good-faith party may assume the facts without inquiry, and the transaction is enforceable against the trust’s assets.

Nevada Trust Law, Not UTC

Nevada did not adopt the Uniform Trust Code; certifications follow NRS 164.400–164.440.

Valid in All 16 Nevada Counties & Carson City

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Certificate of Trust the same as a Certification of Trust in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada’s statute, NRS 164.410, calls the document a “Certification of Trust,” but it’s also widely known as a Certificate of Trust, Trust Certificate, Abstract of Trust, or Memorandum of Trust. All describe the same instrument: a notarized summary of a trust’s key terms used to satisfy third parties without revealing the full trust document.
Do I need an attorney to prepare a Nevada Certification of Trust?
No. A Certification of Trust is signed by the currently acting trustee(s), not by an attorney. As long as it covers the facts NRS 164.410 lists, is an affidavit signed and acknowledged by all currently acting trustees, and uses a proper Nevada acknowledgment, it is legally sufficient. Most Nevada estate planning attorneys charge $300+ to draft the same document.
Can I download this Certification of Trust as a PDF?
Yes. Every download includes both the editable Microsoft Word (.docx) and a print-ready PDF. Use the .docx to type in your trust details, or use the PDF to print and complete by hand. Both versions contain identical NRS 164.410 language.
What does a Nevada Certification of Trust need to include?
Under NRS 164.410, it may confirm: (a) the trust’s existence and date, (b) the settlor and each currently acting trustee, (c) the trustee’s powers and any restrictions, (d) revocability and who can revoke, (e) co-trustee signing authority, (f) the trust’s identifying number (SSN or EIN), and (g) the form of title to trust assets. It must state the trust has not been revoked or amended and must be an affidavit signed and acknowledged by all trustees. This template covers it all.
Who has to sign a Nevada Certification of Trust?
All currently acting trustees. Nevada requires the certification to be an affidavit signed and acknowledged by every currently acting trustee — the template includes a signature and acknowledgment block for each.
Does it have to be notarized?
Yes. Nevada requires the affidavit to be acknowledged. The template uses the Nevada acknowledgment under NRS 240.166 — the correct Nevada form — so the document is ready to be accepted the first time.
Can a bank or title company refuse to accept the certification?
Nevada law strongly favors reliance. Under NRS 164.430, a person who relies in good faith without knowledge the certification is incorrect is not liable and may assume the facts without inquiry, and the transaction is enforceable against the trust’s assets. A recipient may still request excerpts that designate the trustee and confer the power to act under NRS 164.420.
Is this template valid in any Nevada county?
Yes. Nevada state law — not county law — governs Certifications of Trust. The template works across all 16 Nevada counties and Carson City: Clark, Washoe, Elko, Douglas, Lyon, Nye, Churchill, Humboldt, and the rest, plus Carson City.
What if my trust was created in another state but I now live in Nevada?
A trust validly created in another state is generally recognized in Nevada. You can use this template to certify a trust originally executed elsewhere — just enter the original date of execution as shown on your trust document. If you have specific questions about how your trust will be treated under Nevada law, consult a licensed Nevada attorney.
Is this legal advice?
No. Noble Notary & Legal Document Preparers is a Florida nonlawyer document preparation service. This template is a self-help legal form provided for informational purposes. We have not reviewed your specific trust or circumstances. For legal advice on your specific situation, consult a licensed Nevada attorney.
How fast do I get the file?
Immediately. After Kajabi checkout confirms, you’ll be redirected to a download page and emailed a copy of the link. There’s no shipping — this is a digital product. Total time from clicking “buy” to opening the file is usually under two minutes.
What’s your refund policy?
30 days. If this template doesn’t include the Nevada-specific statutory language, notary acknowledgment, and execution requirements described on this page, email gracie.sias32@gmail.com or call (321) 283-6452 within 30 days for a full refund.
