Probate in Nevada, handled for you
Nevada settles estates through the District Court. Nevada is a community property state with relatively streamlined probate procedures and generous set-aside provisions — an estate of $200,000 or less can potentially be distributed without full administration. Small-estate affidavits are available for even smaller estates. Kindred handles the administration for one flat fee.
Nevada lets you handle an uncontested probate without a lawyer. Nevada allows a personal representative to handle probate without an attorney for an ordinary, uncontested estate. Kindred handles the administrative work; if a dispute or formal hearing arises, we flag it so you can bring in an attorney of your choosing.
