Las Vegas, NV asked in Probate for Nevada

Q: My father died in with a trust in place. I found a $10,000 savings account not in the trust and no beneficiary

The Bank, USAA, will not release the funds to me for disbursement without something from the State or County advising them that I am the person authorized for them to disburse to. What can I do short of entering this one account only into probate?

A: If $10,000 is the only amount that is outside the trust, Google Probate Court, Clark County Nevada, and you will find a page with forms including an Affidavit of Entitlement (that should be good in any Nevada County) which you can use.
