NV Rev Stat § 165.145 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 165 - Trustees’ Accounting (Uniform Act)|NRS 165.145 - Providing confidential account; review of confidential account; order granting relief to beneficiary.

If, while considering a petition filed pursuant to NRS 165.143, the court finds that the beneficiary is entitled to an account pursuant to this section and that the trust instrument authorizes or directs the trustee not to provide the account, the court shall, upon the beneficiary’s request, compel the trustee to confidentially provide an account in accordance with the following procedure:  1. If the beneficiary has not been previously provided with a copy of the trust instrument, the court shall direct the trustee to provide the court and each reviewer selected pursuant to subsection 2 with a copy of the trust instrument, or such portions as the court deems to be pertinent to the determination of the adequacy of the trustee’s account and to the enforcement of the beneficiary’s rights under the trust instrument.  2. The court shall direct the account to be provided confidentially to the court and to one or more reviewers selected by the beneficiary. The court may direct that the account be filed with the court clerk under seal or delivered to the court for in camera review. The account provided must contain the information required by this section without regard to any trust provision restricting the information to be provided to the requesting beneficiary.  3. A reviewer must be either a certified public accountant or an attorney.  4. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of subsection 5, the beneficiary requesting the account must pay for the services of each reviewer. The expense of preparing the account must be paid as an expense of the trust.  5. Each reviewer must agree that:  (a) The account provided must be reviewed confidentially and must not be provided to the beneficiary except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) or in an order of the court; and  (b) The reviewer’s duty is to review the account and to prepare a written report, which must be filed with the court clerk under seal or submitted to the court for in camera review, informing the court if there is anything that would indicate that the trust, as it affects the beneficiary’s interest, has not been or may not have been properly administered or accounted for in accordance with applicable law, the trust instrument and generally accepted accounting principles applicable to trusts. At the same time a copy of the reviewer’s report is provided to the court, a copy of each reviewer’s report must be delivered to the trustee or to the trustee’s attorney of record.  6. The trustee may submit to the court and to each reviewer an objection to the report of a reviewer within 10 days after the trustee received the reviewer’s report. The trustee shall submit the objections to the court and to each reviewer in the same manner as the trustee provided the account. The court may consider each reviewer’s report and the objections of the trustee with or without a hearing. If the court, after considering the report of any reviewer and any objection submitted by the trustee, finds that the trust, as it affects the beneficiary’s interest, has not been or may not have been properly administered or accounted for in accordance with applicable law, the trust instrument and generally accepted accounting principles applicable to trusts, in addition to any other relief granted by the court pursuant to NRS 153.031 or 165.143, the court shall enter an order granting the relief necessary to protect the beneficiary’s interests or to allow the beneficiary to enforce his or her rights under the trust.  7. An order granting relief described in subsection 6 may include one or more of the following:  (a) A directive to the trustee to provide the beneficiary an account which complies with the provisions of NRS 165.135, together with such additional information as the beneficiary may require to properly enforce his or her rights under the trust;  (b) A directive to the trustee to provide further accounts required under this section without further court order;  (c) A directive to the trustee to provide the court and each reviewer a more complete account or such additional information as the court deems necessary to determine if the trust is being properly administered in compliance with the trust instrument and applicable law;  (d) A directive to the trustee to take action to remedy or mitigate the effects of any improper administration of the trust;  (e) A declaration relieving each reviewer from any further obligation of confidentiality; and  (f) Any such additional relief as the court deems proper to ensure the trustee’s compliance with the trust instrument and applicable law and to allow enforcement of the beneficiary’s rights.  8. If the beneficiary is granted any relief by the court on the basis that the trust was not properly administered or accounted for, the provisions of subsection 3 of NRS 153.031 apply with regard to the reimbursement of costs incurred by the beneficiary.
