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 Washoe 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 Washoe County filing-fee total with the District Court Clerk before relying on a figure.

    Use this county-linked source to check live court-record information when available. Search results may not include every probate record.

    Searchable, completeness not guaranteed

    Nevada does not have a single complete statewide unified case index; participating courts publish records through the Nevada eCourt public portal, and the Second Judicial District Court also offers its own case search for probate cases (which begin with the prefix 'PR'). Coverage is not complete and document images may be limited; confirm case details directly with the Washoe County Clerk / Second Judicial District Court.
