Nevada Probate Process Duration

Summary

In Nevada, if a property is jointly owned and both owners are deceased without a will, probate is generally required to transfer the title. Options like an Affidavit of Entitlement are available for estates valued under $100,000, but with a $200,000 property, probate is likely necessary. The process can take 6 months to over a year, costing 4% to 7% of the estates value. Filing a petition with the local probate court, such as in Washoe County, is essential.

In Nevada does a piece of property have to go through probate court if my parents both passed away more than 15 years ago and I am the sole error to the house
