Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Yes, creditors are entitled to be paid. They are a higher priority than beneficiaries. A Will must be lodged with the District Court within 30 days of death in Nevada. If there are assets that do not have a joint tenant or a death beneficiary, they must be probated. An attorney may assist you or you may try to do it on your own.

Estate Planning lawyer at Paul A. Nidich Attorney at Law
Antone can establish a third-party special needs trust. But, I suggest you do so in concert with the parents to coordinate trustees and other relevant issues to save problems of unnecessary and possibly expensive duplication.

How long can an estate case take?

Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
That is a very fact specific question, and one that you should discuss with an attorney. It depends on how large the estate is, who the next of kin are, where the decedent was domiciled, etc.
