Nevada's statutory transfer on death instrument for real property is called a deed upon death. It is governed by NRS 111.655-111.699 (2013), inclusive, and incorporates the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act into its text. Like other transfer on death deeds, THE EXECUTED DEED, AS WELL AS ANY CHANGES OR REVOCATIONS, MUST BE RECORDED IN THE COUNTY WHERE THE LAND IS LOCATED, DURING THE OWNER'S NATURAL LIFE.
Transfer on death deeds/deeds upon death make it possible for owners of real estate in Nevada to convey their land to one or more designated beneficiaries after their death, with no need to subject the property to probate distribution. Significantly, transfers included in deeds upon death are not affected by directions included in wills. As such, these deeds comprise only one part of a regularly updated overall estate plan.
When correctly executed and recorded, a deed upon death only contains a potential future interest in the property, so there is no requirement to pay consideration or to give notice to any named beneficiary. In addition, the owner retains absolute control over the property, including the right to change beneficiary designations, revoke the deed, sign sales, rental, or mortgage agreements, and use the land in any other lawful way without penalty.
After the owner's death, the surviving beneficiary claims the property by recording an affidavit of death of grantor, along with an official copy of the owner's death certificate. Alternately, if the beneficiary is unable or unwilling to accept the transfer, the statutes provide a method to disclaim it.
Overall, Nevada's deed upon death offers a flexible tool for estate planning. Because each circumstance is unique, take the time to fully understand the benefits and drawbacks that accompany these documents, including the potential impact on taxes, benefit eligibility and repayment, and other financial concerns. Contact a local attorney with specific questions or for complex situations.

I was very pleased. It was the form I needed. I was getting discouraged by companies that wanted me to sign up for monthly payments just to get the one form I needed. I prefer your system of paying for what I get. Thank you so much!

Very easy to use. Time will tell if I have any issues getting it recorded. Beats using an attorney who won't return calls and emails like I used before. I like the form plus instructions and an example of the completed form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Easy to use and able to individualize, which was important since I needed to print more than one doc. I just wish I had an option for a less expensive purchase - seemed like a lot for just a couple docs.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

AMAZING! Easy to use, reasonable fee - and get MUCH MORE than just a deed form. I ordered a "deed" and received a whole "package," including a guide and the jurisdiction's costs schedule and cover page that would be needed to record the deed - even included a Certificate of Transfer that is not required for a deed but something I needed for a different transaction. The website was extremely easy to use and the cautions about not disclosing personal information were so clear and personal, they made me feel secure in knowing this site was not trying to rip me off. Very professional. Well done.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
