Q: My husbands father passed here in Nevada. Will states 50/50 between he and his sister. She refuses to uphold the will.
His assets are a house worth near $300,000 and a car that are solely in his name. However, his sister is in possession of and claims he bought for her. Is my husband entitled to half of these assets? Will this have to be settled in probate court? Is there any instance she would be awarded everything?

A: You need to hire a Nevada probate attorney to help you probate your father’s estate according to his will. It sounds like that process hasn’t even begun. If it has begun, then you need to hire a probate attorney to protect your rights.
A: I agree with Counsel below. In most circumstances in NV, the Will needs to go through Probate before the assets can be transferred to the heirs. Your husband really should meet with NV Counsel who can discuss his rights.
