Firstly, sorry for your loss.
If he left no Will, he died 'intestate'. To transfer the property, it must first go through the probate process, and from what you have said, you and your father's other child are the heirs to the estate under the NV Statute. Please be aware... View More
There is less than $70,000 in equity if we sell the home and payoff reverse mtge, no other assets - household items all to be donated to a local charity. I am the executor of the trust. Based on above information do I need to probate her estate?

Firstly, sorry for your loss.
If the residence is in the Trust you should not need a Probate. Typically a Trust provides that the Successor Trustee has the power to sell the asset.

Firstly, sorry for your loss.
If there is equity in the home, a Probate will need to be opened to transfer the residence to the sole heir, or to allow the sole heir to sell the residence, unless Mom filed a Deed Upon death prior to her passing.
I hope this helps.
Updating our estate plan. Once both my wife and I pass, who decides who gets all our personal items in the house? We have three adult children who are named as equal beneficiaries in our will.

Typically personal property doesn't go through probate unless it is 'valuable', or if there is a contest. Oftentimes clients leave a "memorandum" which sets forth which child gets certain pieces of personal property. You don't say whether you have a revocable living... View More

Firstly, sorry for the loss of your dear friend.
The answer to your question depends upon the answers to some missing facts.
Are you aware whether your friend had assets in Sparks (ie: a house, car, bank accounts)? If so, those assets may need to go through Probate. As the Will... View More

Sorry for your loss.
I don't believe you should have problems with the probate in NV as you will be able to show that grandmother passed first and therefore the joint account became your late father's sole account. This will all need to be explained in your Petition to the Court.... View More
How do I get money out of bank he was single and I'm his only child, his employer sent me his last check which I can't do anything with.
answered on Nov 2, 2017
So very sorry for your loss.
As your father was a resident of Florida, this is a question for a Florida probate attorney. May I suggest you repost your question as Probate for Florida. Good luck to you.

The first thing you may want to do is to reach out to the Nevada State Bar to see if they have any knowledge of anyone taking over the practice, or the transfer of files. Typically files are kept for 7 years, so if it is longer than that, you may not be able to obtain a copy.
Good luck to you.
Will left everything to trust. Named co-Trustees have failed to act within the 30 day time period (after death). Neither wants to serve. Need forms to effectuate my appointment as Trustee.
answered on Sep 13, 2017
