A: In Nevada probate summary administration, you may wish to file a motion to bypass a second hearing if certain conditions are met, such as all parties being in agreement, no objections being raised, and all required documentation being in order. This motion essentially asks the court to proceed without the need for an additional hearing, streamlining the process.

To file such a motion, you would generally need to:

Draft the Motion: Include the reasons why the second hearing is unnecessary, referencing any agreements between parties and the completion of required steps in the probate process.

File the Motion with the Court: Submit the motion to the probate court where the summary administration is taking place.

Notify Interested Parties: Ensure all interested parties are notified of the motion, as they have the right to respond or object.

Attend Any Required Hearing: If the court schedules a hearing to consider your motion, be prepared to attend and present your case.

If the court grants the motion, the probate process may conclude more quickly without the need for further hearings.

Because probate can be complex and specific to each case, it’s advisable to consult with an attorney to ensure that your motion is correctly drafted and filed.
