FAQs

Do I need a lawyer to make a valid last will in Nevada?

Nevada law does not require a lawyer to make a will, but an attorney helps ensure your document meets all legal standards, preventing future challenges or delays.

What happens if someone dies without a will in Henderson?

If a person dies without a valid will, Nevada’s intestacy laws determine how their property will be divided, which often means the court—not the family—makes these decisions.

Can I change my will after it’s been signed?

Yes, you can update your will at any point in your life. Regular reviews keep your document current with any life changes.

Are handwritten wills valid in Nevada?

Nevada recognizes holographic wills if they are written and signed by the person making the will. However, formal requirements still apply for the will to be accepted by the court.

How often should I review my will?

Consider reviewing your will after any major life change, such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child, to be sure it still reflects your wishes.
