Nevada State Treasurer — Unclaimed Property
Visit the agency website →Search nvup.gov, then file a claim as the heir, administrator, executor, or trustee with a certified copy of the death certificate and proof of authority. Probate court documents are required if the estate is over $25,000; smaller estates may use an Affidavit of Heirship and a notarized Small Estate Affidavit.
The Nevada Unclaimed Property Office requires probate court documents when the estate is more than $25,000. The claimant decides whether the property combined with other estate assets crosses that threshold.
No. Once property is turned over to the Nevada State Treasurer, the State holds it until the owner or their heirs claim it, so there is generally no deadline for heirs to file.
Yes. If the estate is $25,000 or less (or $150,000 or less for a surviving spouse who was entitled to the entire estate), an heir may use the Treasurer's Form UP-45 (Small Estate Affidavit) instead of probate court documents, provided at least 40 days have elapsed since the decedent's death (NRS 146.080(7)). Once the Administrator approves the claim, payment must be issued within 30 days (NRS 120A.640(3)).
