Paradise is the unincorporated community that actually contains the famous Las Vegas Strip, UNLV, and McCarran/Harry Reid International Airport.

đ Nevada’s Triple Tax Advantage
Nevada has NO state income tax, NO state estate tax, and NO state inheritance tax â making it one of the most tax-friendly states in America for building and protecting wealth. However, you still need a valid Will to control who inherits your property and who cares for your children.
đ Community Property State
Nevada is one of only 9 community property states in the U.S. Each spouse owns 1/2 of all property acquired during the marriage â regardless of who earned it. Your Will can only distribute YOUR half of community property plus all your separate property (owned before marriage or inherited). Understanding this distinction is critical for proper estate planning in Nevada.
đ Nevada Recognizes Holographic Wills: Unlike Washington and Illinois, Nevada does recognize holographic (handwritten) wills under NRS 133.090. However, holographic wills are easier to challenge in probate. We strongly recommend a typed, witnessed Will with a self-proving affidavit for maximum protection.
Why You Need a Last Will and Testament in Nevada
â Control Who Inherits Your Property
Without a Will, Nevada intestacy laws decide who gets your assets. In a community property state, this means your half of community property AND all separate property are distributed by formula â not your wishes.
â Name Guardians for Minor Children
If you have children under 18, your Will is the only way to legally designate who will care for them if both parents pass away.
â Choose Your Executor
Your Will lets you select a trusted person to manage your estate. Nevada allows you to grant independent administration powers, letting your executor act without constant court supervision.
â Request Independent Administration
Nevada law (NRS 143.300) allows independent administration of estates â letting your executor manage assets, pay debts, and distribute property without constant court orders, saving significant time and expense.
Nevada Will Requirements (NRS 133.040)
Nevada Law Requires:
- Age & Mental Capacity: You must be 18 years or older and of sound mind
- Written Document: Your Will must be in writing (typed or handwritten â Nevada recognizes both)
- Signature: You must sign the Will at the end (or direct someone to sign in your presence)
- Two Witnesses: Two competent witnesses must attest to your signing (for typed Wills)
- Self-Proving Affidavit (Recommended): A notarized affidavit (NRS 133.050) streamlines probate by eliminating need for witness testimony
- Community Property Identification: Clearly distinguishes between community property and separate property
- Independent Administration Request (Recommended): Authorizes your executor to act without court supervision
Our professional preparation ensures your Nevada Will meets all NRS Chapter 133 requirements including community property provisions and independent administration. We can also provide mobile notary and witness services for proper execution.

What Happens If You Die Without a Will in Nevada?
If you die without a valid Will in Nevada, you die “intestate” and Nevada law (NRS 134) determines who inherits your property. As a community property state, the rules differ based on whether assets are community or separate property.
Nevada Intestacy Distribution
Community Property (acquired during marriage):
- Your surviving spouse automatically inherits ALL of your community property share
- Your children inherit nothing from community property under intestacy
Separate Property (owned before marriage or inherited):
- If married with one child: Spouse inherits 1/2, child inherits 1/2
- If married with two or more children: Spouse inherits 1/3, children split 2/3
- If married with no descendants: Spouse inherits everything
If you’re unmarried with descendants:
- Your descendants inherit everything equally (per stirpes)
- Minor children’s inheritance requires court-supervised guardianship
If you’re unmarried with no descendants:
- Parents inherit if living
- If no parents: Siblings inherit equally
- If no siblings: Grandparents, then nearest kin
- If no relatives found: Your estate escheats to the State of Nevada
Without a Will, you have NO control over:
- Who inherits your separate property
- Who cares for your minor children
- Who serves as executor of your estate
- Whether your estate gets independent administration
- Whether family heirlooms and specific items go to the right people
Creating a Nevada Last Will and Testament is the only way to ensure your wishes are followed.

How much does a Last Will and Testament cost in Nevada?
Our Nevada Will services range from $14.95 for DIY forms to $225 for professional preparation to $475 for our white-glove package with mobile notary and witnesses. This is significantly less than the $500â$3,000+ Nevada attorneys typically charge.
Do I need an attorney to create a Will in Nevada?
No. Nevada law allows you to create your own Will without an attorney, as long as it meets the requirements under NRS Chapter 133 and is properly witnessed.
Can I handwrite my own Will in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada recognizes holographic (handwritten) wills under NRS 133.090 â they must be written entirely in your handwriting and signed by you. However, holographic wills are easier to challenge. We recommend a typed, witnessed Will with a self-proving affidavit.
What is community property and how does it affect my Will?
Nevada is a community property state â each spouse owns 1/2 of all property acquired during the marriage, regardless of who earned it. Your Will can only distribute YOUR half of community property plus all your separate property (owned before marriage or inherited).
Does Nevada have an estate tax, inheritance tax, or income tax?
No, no, and no. Nevada has no state estate tax, no inheritance tax, and no state income tax â the triple tax advantage. Only the federal estate tax applies (estates over $13.61 million in 2024).
What is independent administration?
Independent administration (NRS 143.300) allows your executor to manage the estate without constant court supervision â selling property, paying debts, and distributing assets without individual court orders. Your Will should request independent administration. Our professional services include this.

Personal consultation, custom Nevada Will drafting (executor, beneficiaries, guardians), community property provisions, independent administration request, self-proving affidavit, and revisions.
What’s included in the $475 white-glove package?

Where is probate filed in Nevada?
Probate is filed in the district court of the county where the deceased resided. For Paradise residents, this would be the Clark County District Court.
Where should I keep my Nevada Will?
Store your original in a safe, fireproof location your executor can access. In Nevada, you can also file your Will with the county clerk for safekeeping during your lifetime (NRS 136.050).
