A trust is a private contract governed by its own choice-of-law clause, not by any state's recording or filing system, so a trust validly executed in another state is recognized in Nevada for holding personal property. The exception is real estate: Nevada property must be retitled into the trust through a Nevada deed, which the foreign trust agreement doesn't accomplish on its own. Banks, brokerages, and title companies in Nevada will work with a properly executed trust from any state. See the document portability tool for state-by-state details.
