Courts require Fair Market Value, meaning what an item would realistically sell for today. Valuing estate items usually involves comparing recent sales, noting condition, and documenting each piece with clear photos and descriptions. High-value items get closer review, while everyday household goods are grouped with reasonable estimates. A clean, organized valuation helps the court understand what the estate contains and reduces delays or disputes.

A personal representative is responsible for guiding the estate through probate: securing the property, taking inventory of assets, paying valid debts, managing paperwork, and ultimately distributing what’s left to the rightful heirs. Their job is to stay organized, follow Nevada’s legal requirements, and make sure every step is documented so the court can move the case forward without issues.

When families disagree over property, the safest move is to document everything clearly and neutrally. That means creating a full inventory with photos, descriptions, and fair-market estimates so everyone can see exactly what exists and what it’s worth. A detailed record takes emotion out of the process, gives the court something solid to rely on, and helps prevent arguments from turning into long, expensive delays.
