Filing & Fees
Fee Schedule Signals
Probate Filing Fees
| Filing Type | Fee |
|---|---|
Formal Administration Standard probate for larger estates | $424 |
Small Estate Affidavit For estates under threshold (no court filing needed) | $0 |
Note: Nevada has NO state probate tax. At filing the Clerk of the District Court collects a base fee under NRS 19.013 plus a value-based supplemental fee under NRS 19.0302 (no supplemental fee for estates of $20,000 or less; $99 for estates over $20,000 but under $300,000; $352 for estates of $300,000 or more), plus statutory county add-ons. The numeric fields below record the statewide statutory base ($72) plus the applicable NRS 19.0302 supplemental for each path; published all-in Lyon County totals include additional court-facility and administrative-assessment add-ons (for reference, Clark County's published all-in District Court probate petition totals are about $185.50 / $284.50 / $537.50 by estate-value bracket). The personal representative's commission is set by NRS 150.020 and attorney compensation by NRS 150.060. Verify the current Lyon County filing-fee total with the District Court Clerk before relying on a figure.
