Who We Help

The moment planning stops being something you'll get to later.

Nevada sends most estates over $25,000 through probate unless a plan is in place and properly funded. These are the situations where that matters most.

No obligation. No pressure. Just a clear answer on where you stand.

What We Handle

What a Nevada estate plan is actually made of.

Not everyone needs every piece. We scope it on the first call, and we won’t sell you a trust you don’t need.

Wills

Who inherits, who administers, and who raises your children if you can't.

Revocable living trusts

The main tool for keeping a Nevada estate out of probate court.

Powers of attorney

Financial and health care authority so someone can act if you're incapacitated.

Deeds & homestead

Retitling Nevada real property and recording a homestead declaration.

Asset protection

Nevada spendthrift trusts and structures for owners and investors.

Legacy provisions

Charitable gifts, staged distributions, and care for a pet that outlives you.

Why Nevada Is Different

Nevada law rewards planning ahead.

You don’t need to know any of this before you call — but it’s the background that shapes what we’ll recommend.

Planning under Nevada law

A few things about this state genuinely change what a good plan looks like.

What planning prevents

The comparison that makes the decision easy for most people.

Court involvement

None, if funded

Time to reach your family

Weeks, not months

Public court record

Private

Who decides

You do

The honest version: a plan doesn’t help you. It helps the people who have to sort things out while they’re grieving. That’s the whole argument for doing it now rather than later.

What Happens Next

Four steps, and it's done.

Most plans are signed within a few weeks of the first conversation, wherever in Nevada you are.

Step One

Free consultation

We map what you own, who you want to protect, and what you want to avoid. You leave knowing what the plan needs and what it costs.

SAME DAY OR NEXT DAY
Step Two

We design and draft

Documents prepared on Nevada law and walked through with you in plain English before anything is signed.

1–2 WEEKS
Step Three

Signing

Execution, witnessing, and notarisation handled correctly, in person or remotely.

ONE APPOINTMENT
Step Four

Funding

We record the deeds and coordinate account and beneficiary changes. This is the step that makes the plan work.

THE STEP MOST FIRMS SKIP
Straight Answers

How long it takes, and what it costs.

The two questions everyone asks on the first call.

What it typically takes

From first consultation to signed documents. Business interests and out-of-state property extend these.

Will-based plan

1–2 weeks

Revocable trust plan

2–4 weeks

Funding Nevada real property

1–2 weeks

Reviewing an out-of-state plan

One appointment

Why funding decides everything: a trust only avoids probate for assets actually transferred into it. An unfunded trust sends your family into the exact court process you paid to avoid — usually years later, when it’s expensive to fix.

How planning fees work

This is predictable work, so it should carry a predictable price.

Flat fees, quoted up front

You'll know the full cost of your plan before you commit to anything.

Scoped to what you need

If a will and beneficiary designations do the job, that's what we'll tell you.

Third-party costs itemised

Deed recording and related fees are explained in advance, not added later.

A fraction of what probate costs

Planning is almost always cheaper than the court process it prevents.

Your exact number: quoted on the free consultation, once we know what you own and who you’re protecting.

Not sure what your family actually needs?

One short call is usually enough to know. Free, and no obligation to hire us.

Common Questions

Nevada estate planning, answered plainly

The questions we get on almost every first call.

Online services can produce a valid document. What they can’t do is tell you which document you need, apply Nevada-specific provisions, or transfer your house into the trust afterwards.

Those three gaps — scope, state law, and funding — are where DIY plans fail, and we usually see the fallout in probate court years later. If your situation is genuinely simple, we’ll say so on the free call.

Generally a will or trust validly executed in another state is still recognised, but that’s not the same as working well here. Nevada has its own rules on community property, homestead, trustee powers, and health care directives, and any Nevada real property has to be deeded correctly regardless.

A review appointment is usually enough to tell you whether you need an amendment or a fresh plan.

It depends mostly on whether you own real property. If you own a home in Nevada, a revocable living trust is usually what keeps your family out of probate. If your estate is modest and everything passes by beneficiary designation, a will plus those designations may be enough.

Nevada’s intestate succession statutes decide who inherits, in a fixed order starting with spouse and children, and most estates over $25,000 go through probate. The court also appoints the person who administers the estate, and decides guardianship for minor children.

Nothing goes to the state unless no relatives can be found at all — but you lose every choice you would otherwise have made.

Nevada imposes no state estate tax, no inheritance tax, and no state income tax. Federal estate tax still applies to estates above the federal exemption, which is high enough that most families never encounter it.

For the large majority of Nevadans, planning is about avoiding probate and naming decision-makers — not about tax.

Nevada is regularly ranked among the strongest trust jurisdictions in the country. It permits self-settled spendthrift trusts, allows trusts to last far longer than most states, and has no state income tax on trust income.

Whether any of that is relevant to you depends on what you own. For a family with a house and retirement accounts, a straightforward revocable trust is usually the whole answer.

Yes. Consultations happen by phone or video, drafts are reviewed the same way, and signing can be arranged remotely or in the office. We serve Clark County and the rest of Nevada, along with clients who own Nevada property but live elsewhere.

After any major change: marriage, divorce, a birth, a death, buying or selling property, starting or selling a business, or moving to a new state. Absent those, a review every three to five years keeps it current.
