What can I do if my dad died he left a small home without a Will?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Your question is not clear, are you his legal child or not? If not, then you would have no right. Step-children do not have inheritance rights in Nevada. If you are a legal child, then you may be entitled to either have the house sold and split the net proceeds with the other children or buy them out. In any event, it sounds like a probate will need to be opened. If you are a legal child of his and have rights to inherit you may wish to retail counsel to assist you.

Estate Planning lawyer at Kristen Carron, LLC
It sounds like there should have been a probate. I would start by calling the probate court in the town where your mom lived. A will is supposed to be filed with the probate court 30 days after death whether or not a probate was opened. If the will was filed, the probate court will have it and you will be able to get a copy.

In Nevada, without a Will, she is his heir and is entitled to all community property, assets acquired during marriage, including the separation , plus 1/3 all separate property assets he acquired before marrying her. If the assets total under $100,000 she is entitled to all, even if there is a Will Sorry, your father should have made a Will for his 1/2 or gotten a divorce. She is also entitled to his social security and probably his retirement, if any.
