One of the biggest misconceptions about estate planning is that having a will alone keeps your family out of court. In Nevada, that’s not true — a will still goes through probate, a lengthy and often expensive legal process that makes your estate public record.

When you create a revocable living trust, you take control out of the court’s hands. Assets placed into your trust bypass probate entirely, meaning your loved ones receive what you intended — privately, efficiently, and without months of legal delays or unnecessary fees.

A trust doesn’t just distribute property; it protects your family from court involvement, conflict, and financial stress during an already difficult time.One of the biggest misconceptions about estate planning is that everything “just goes to your family” when you pass away. In Nevada, that’s rarely the case. When someone dies without a valid will or trust, their loved ones must go through a court-supervised process called probate—a long, public, and often expensive ordeal that can delay the distribution of assets for months or even years.

A properly written will doesn’t just list who gets what—it protects your family from confusion, legal battles, and the unnecessary costs of probate court.
