State of Nevada Takes the Estate: Escheat
If you die without a will or trust, your property should go to various next of kin specified by statute. However, if no next of kin comes forward--and this could happen even if there were a will which was not discovered--the property will go to the State of Nevada. The word to describe this happening is "escheat." This topic is discussed in detail at our other website, www.probatenevada.net
