What You'll Find Here
I write about the things that matter to Nevada families: how to choose between a will and a trust, what happens when a loved one dies without a plan, how to qualify for EEOICPA benefits, and what the RECA 2025 reauthorization means for test site workers and their survivors. No recycled national content. No legalese for its own sake.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nevada Estate Planning
What's the difference between a will and a trust in Nevada?
A will directs where your assets go after you die and must go through probate before anything transfers. A trust holds your assets during your lifetime and passes them to your beneficiaries without court involvement. For many Nevada families, a trust is the more efficient choice — but the right answer depends on your assets, your family situation, and your goals. I cover this in detail on the estate planning blog.
What is RECA reauthorization 2025 and who qualifies?
The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act was significantly expanded through reauthorization legislation that extended coverage to additional downwinder areas, post-1971 uranium workers, and Nevada Test Site employees who were previously excluded. If you or a family member worked at the Nevada Test Site or lived in a designated exposure area, you may qualify under the updated rules. I'm the only local Las Vegas-based attorney representative for these claims, and I post updates on the blog as guidance evolves.
Do I need an estate planning checklist before meeting with an attorney?
It helps. Knowing what documents you already have, what assets you own, and who you'd name as beneficiaries or agents makes your consultation more productive and your plan more accurate. My free Nevada estate planning checklist is a good starting point — download it before your first appointment.
What are the alternatives to guardianship in Nevada?
Guardianship is sometimes necessary, but it's not always the first or best option. A durable power of attorney, a healthcare directive, or a properly structured trust can often accomplish the same protective goals with far less court involvement. I write about guardianship alternatives on the blog because too many families pursue formal guardianship before exploring what a well-drafted estate plan could have prevented.
Is this blog specific to Nevada law?
Yes. Every article I publish is written with Nevada residents in mind. Estate planning, probate, and guardianship law varies significantly by state, and I don't publish generic national content. If you're in Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, or Pahrump, the guidance here applies to your situation.
