Straight answers
Questions worth asking.
W
Why is having a will important in Nevada?+
A will records who should receive your property and who should carry out your wishes. Without one, Nevada law makes those decisions for you.
How long can a simple probate take?+
A straightforward estate may move through probate in Northern Nevada in six or seven months. Disputes and complex assets can extend that timeline.
Can estate planning be handled remotely?+
Most planning can be completed by phone, Zoom and email. The firm has three in-house notaries to help the signing process go smoothly.
Is a living trust always the right answer?+
Not always. The right plan depends on your property, family and goals. Clear advice matters more than a one-size-fits-all document.
