About this Nevada affidavit of death joint tenant

When an owner who held Nevada property as a joint tenant or as community property with right of survivorship dies, the surviving owner(s) take the decedent’s share automatically, without probate. Recording this sworn affidavit with a certified death certificate and a Declaration of Value updates the public record.

Serving Nevada. Appointments must be handled by Nevada-commissioned notaries.

Important notes from this Nevada packet

If the deed says “tenants in common” or “community property” without survivorship, this affidavit does not apply; probate or another process may be needed. If the decedent had a deed upon death, use the Death of Grantor Affidavit instead. Update homeowner’s insurance and notify the mortgage servicer.
