Certain amount in personal bank account not subject to execution; claim of exemption for additional amount; determination of exemption; immunity from liability for financial institution
Status: in_force

1. If a writ of execution or garnishment is levied on the personal bank account of the judgment debtor and money has been deposited into the account electronically within the immediately preceding 45 days from the date on which the writ was served which is reasonably identifiable as exempt from execution, notwithstanding any other deposits of money into the account, $2,000 or the entire amount in the account, whichever is less, is not subject to execution and must remain accessible to the judgment debtor. For the purposes of this section, money is reasonably identifiable as exempt from execution if the money is deposited in the bank account by the United States Department of the Treasury, including, without limitation, money deposited as: (a) Benefits provided pursuant to the Social Security Act which are exempt from execution pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 407 and 1383 , including, without limitation, retirement and survivors' benefits, supplemental security income benefits, disability insurance benefits and child support payments that are processed pursuant to Part D of Title IV of the Social Security Act; (b) Veterans' benefits which are exempt from execution pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 5301 ; (c) Annuities payable to retired railroad employees which are exempt from execution pursuant to 45 U.S.C. § 231m ; (d) Benefits provided for retirement or disability of federal employees which are exempt from execution pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §§ 8346 and 8470 ; (e) Annuities payable to retired members of the Armed Forces of the United States and to any surviving spouse or children of such members which are exempt from execution pursuant to 10 U.S.C. §§ 1440 and 1450 ; (f) Payments and allowances to members of the Armed Forces of the United States which are exempt from execution pursuant to 37 U.S.C. § 701 ; (g) Federal student loan payments which are exempt from execution pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 1095a ; (h) Wages due or accruing to merchant seamen which are exempt from execution pursuant to 46 U.S.C. § 11109 ; (i) Compensation or benefits due or payable to longshore and harbor workers which are exempt from execution pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 916 ; (j) Annuities and benefits for retirement and disability of members of the foreign service which are exempt from execution pursuant to 22 U.S.C. § 4060 ; (k) Compensation for injury, death or detention of employees of contractors with the United States outside the United States which is exempt from execution pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1717 ; (l) Assistance for a disaster from the Federal Emergency Management Agency which is exempt from execution pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.110 ; (m) Black lung benefits paid to a miner or a miner's surviving spouse or children pursuant to 30 U.S.C. § 922 or 931 which are exempt from execution; and (n) Benefits provided pursuant to any other federal law.

2. If a writ of execution or garnishment is levied on the personal bank account of the judgment debtor and the provisions of subsection 1 do not apply, $400 or the entire amount in the account, whichever is less, is not subject to execution and must remain accessible to the judgment debtor, unless the writ of execution or garnishment is for the recovery of money owed for the support of any person.

3. If a judgment debtor has more than one personal bank account with the bank to which a writ is issued, the amount that is not subject to execution must not in the aggregate exceed the amount specified in subsection 1 or 2, as applicable.

4. A judgment debtor may apply to a court to claim an exemption for any amount subject to a writ levied on a personal bank account which exceeds the amount that is not subject to execution pursuant to subsection 1 or 2.

5. If money in the personal account of the judgment debtor which exceeds the amount that is not subject to execution pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 includes exempt and nonexempt money, the judgment debtor may claim an exemption for the exempt money in the manner set forth in NRS 21.112 . To determine whether such money in the account is exempt, the judgment creditor must use the method of accounting which applies the standard that the first money deposited in the account is the first money withdrawn from the account. The court may require a judgment debtor to provide statements from the bank which include all deposits into and withdrawals from the account for the immediately preceding 90 days.

6. A financial institution which makes a reasonable effort to determine whether money in the account of a judgment debtor is subject to execution for the purposes of this section is immune from civil liability for any act or omission with respect to that determination, including, without limitation, when the financial institution makes an incorrect determination after applying commercially reasonable methods for determining whether money in an account is exempt because the source of the money was not clearly identifiable or because the financial institution inadvertently misidentified the source of the money. If a court determines that a financial institution failed to identify that money in an account was not subject to execution pursuant to this section, the financial institution must adjust its actions with respect to a writ of execution as soon as possible but may not be held liable for damages.

7. Nothing in this section requires a financial institution to revise its determination about whether money is exempt, except by an order of a court.

3. After such period, the sheriff shall take such property into immediate custody unless other disposition is made by the court or agreed to by the judgment creditor and judgment debtor.
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 17.117 — NV Code / Title 2 / Chapter 17 / Section 17.117
Offer of judgment
Status: in_force

1. At any time more than 21 days before trial, any party may serve an offer in writing to allow judgment to be taken in accordance with the terms and conditions of the offer. Unless otherwise specified, an offer made under this section is an offer to resolve all claims in the action between the parties to the date of the offer, including costs, expenses, interest and, if attorney's fees are permitted by law or contract, attorney's fees.

2. An apportioned offer of judgment to more than one party may be conditioned upon the acceptance by all parties to whom the offer is directed.

3. A joint offer may be made by multiple offerors.

4. An offer made to multiple defendants will invoke the penalties of this section only if: (a) There is a single common theory of liability against all the offeree defendants, such as where the liability of some is entirely derivative of the others or where the liability of all is derivative of common acts by another; and (b) The same entity, person or group is authorized to decide whether to settle the claims against the offerees.

5. An offer made to multiple plaintiffs will invoke the penalties of this section only if: (a) The damages claimed by all the offeree plaintiffs are solely derivative, such as where the damages claimed by some offerees are entirely derivative of an injury to the others or where the damages claimed by all offerees are derivative of an injury to another; and (b) The same entity, person or group is authorized to decide whether to settle the claims of the offerees.

6. Within 14 days after service of the offer, the offeree may accept the offer by serving written notice that the offer is accepted.

7. Within 21 days after service of written notice that the offer is accepted, the obligated party may pay the amount of the offer and obtain dismissal of the claims, rather than entry of a judgment.

8. If the claims are not dismissed, at any time after 21 days after service of written notice that the offer is accepted, either party may file the offer and notice of acceptance together with proof of service. The clerk must then enter judgment accordingly. The court must allow costs in accordance with NRS 18.110 unless the terms of the offer preclude a separate award of costs. Any judgment entered under this subsection must be expressly designated a compromise settlement.

9. If the offer is not accepted within 14 days after service, the offer will be considered rejected by the offeree and deemed withdrawn by the offeror. Evidence of the offer is not admissible except in a proceeding to determine costs, expenses and fees. The fact that an offer is made but not accepted does not preclude a subsequent offer. With offers to multiple offerees, each offeree may serve a separate acceptance of the apportioned offer, but if the offer is not accepted by all offerees, the action will proceed as to all offerees. Any offeree who fails to accept the offer may be subject to the penalties of this section.

10. If the offeree rejects an offer and fails to obtain a more favorable judgment: (a) The offeree may not recover any costs, expenses or attorney's fees and may not recover interest for the period after the service of the offer and before the judgment; and (b) The offeree must pay the offeror's post-offer costs and expenses, including a reasonable sum to cover any expenses incurred by the offeror for each expert witness whose services were reasonably necessary to prepare for and conduct the trial of the case, applicable interest on the judgment from the time of the offer to the time of the entry of the judgment and reasonable attorney's fees, if any allowed, actually incurred by the offeror from the time of the offer. If the offeror's attorney is collecting a contingent fee, the amount of any attorney's fees awarded to the party for whom the offer is made must be deducted from that contingency fee.

11. The penalties in this section run from the date of service of the earliest rejected offer for which the offeree failed to obtain a more favorable judgment.

12. To invoke the penalties of this section, the court must determine if the offeree failed to obtain a more favorable judgment. If the offer provided that costs, expenses, interests and, if attorney's fees are permitted by law or contract, attorney's fees would be added by the court, the court must compare the amount of the offer with the principal amount of the judgment, without inclusion of costs, expenses, interest and, if attorney's fees are permitted by law or contract, attorney's fees. If a party made an offer in a set amount that precluded a separate award of costs, expenses, interest and, if attorney's fees are permitted by law or contract, attorney's fees, the court must compare the amount of the offer, together with the offeree's pre-offer taxable costs, expenses, interest and, if attorney's fees are permitted by law or contract, attorney's fees with the principal amount of the judgment.

13. When the liability of one party to another has been determined by verdict, order or judgment, but the amount or extent of the liability remains to be determined by further proceedings, the party adjudged liable may make an offer of judgment, which has the same effect as an offer made before trial if it is served within a reasonable time not less than 14 days before the commencement of hearings to determine the amount or extent of liability.

PROCEDURE FOR CLAIMING EXEMPT PROPERTY

If you believe that the money or property taken from you is exempt, you must complete and file with the clerk of the court an executed claim of exemption. A copy of the claim of exemption must be served upon the sheriff, the garnishee and the judgment creditor within 10 days after the notice of execution or garnishment is served on you by mail pursuant to NRS 21.076 which identifies the specific property that is being levied on. The property must be released by the garnishee or the sheriff within 9 judicial days after you serve the claim of exemption upon the sheriff, garnishee and judgment creditor, unless the sheriff or garnishee receives a copy of an objection to the claim of exemption and a notice for a hearing to determine the issue of exemption. If this happens, a hearing will be held to determine whether the property or money is exempt. The objection to the claim of exemption and notice for the hearing to determine the issue of exemption must be filed within 8 judicial days after the claim of exemption is served on the judgment creditor by mail or in person and served on the judgment debtor, the sheriff and any garnishee not less than 5 judicial days before the date set for the hearing. The hearing to determine whether the property or money is exempt must be held within 7 judicial days after the objection to the claim of exemption and notice for the hearing is filed. You may be able to have your property released more quickly if you mail to the judgment creditor or the attorney of the judgment creditor written proof that the property is exempt. Such proof may include, without limitation, a letter from the government, an annual statement from a pension fund, receipts for payment, copies of checks, records from financial institutions or any other document which demonstrates that the money in your account is exempt.

IF YOU DO NOT FILE THE EXECUTED CLAIM OF EXEMPTION WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED, YOUR PROPERTY MAY BE SOLD AND THE MONEY GIVEN TO THE JUDGMENT CREDITOR, EVEN IF THE PROPERTY OR MONEY IS EXEMPT.
