Q: Need estate administration guidance for deceased father's unwilled estate.
I need administrator of estate paperwork for my father who passed away. I don't believe he had a will, and I'm unsure how to proceed with managing his estate or addressing any potential debts or assets. I need guidance on the legal steps to take.
A:
Good morning.
Firstly, sorry for your loss.
If your late father was a NV resident, you may have to open a Probate action here. Whether you will need to do this, or what type of Probate may be required depends upon the type/value of his assets. Clark County Probate Court website has various probate forms and instructions which may be helpful, otherwise you will most likely need to consult with a Probate attorney to pursue those assets.
