The written document must contain a statement with the following language: This property is adjacent to open range on which livestock are permitted to graze or roam. Unless you construct a fence that will prevent livestock from entering this property, livestock may enter the property and you will not be entitled to collect damages because the livestock entered the property. Regardless of whether you construct a fence, it is unlawful to kill, maim or injure livestock that have entered this property.  (b) That the parcel may be subject to claims made by a county or this State of rights-of-way granted by Congress over public lands of the United States not reserved for public uses in chapter 262, section 8, 14 Statutes 253 (former 43 U.S.C. § 932, commonly referred to as R.S. 2477), and accepted by general public use and enjoyment before, on or after July 1, 1979, or other rights-of-way.

The seller shall:  (a) Retain a copy of the disclosure document that has been signed by the purchaser acknowledging the date of receipt by the purchaser of the original document;  (b) Provide a copy of the signed disclosure document to the purchaser; and  (c) Record, in the office of the county recorder in the county where the property is located, the original disclosure document that has been signed by the purchaser.  3. Compliance with this section by a seller constitutes an affirmative defense in any action brought against the seller by the purchaser based upon any damages allegedly suffered as the result of the presence of the rights-of-way described in subsection 1 or of livestock entering the property.  4. As used in this section, "open range" has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 568.355.  (Added to NRS by 2001, 17; A 2009, 670)

2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 115 - Homesteads|NRS 115.050 - Execution against homestead.

  1. Whenever execution has been issued against the property of a party claiming the property as a homestead, and the creditor in the judgment makes an oath before the judge of the district court of the county in which the property is situated that the amount of equity held by the claimant in the property exceeds, to the best of the creditor’s information and belief, the sum of $605,000, the judge shall, upon notice to the debtor, appoint three disinterested and competent persons as appraisers to estimate and report as to the amount of equity held by the claimant in the property and, if the amount of equity exceeds the sum of $605,000, determine whether the property can be divided so as to leave the property subject to the homestead exemption without material injury.  2. If it appears, upon the report, to the satisfaction of the judge that the property can be thus divided, the judge shall order the excess to be sold under execution. If it appears that the property cannot be thus divided, and the amount of equity held by the claimant in the property exceeds the exemption allowed by this chapter, the judge shall order the entire property to be sold, and out of the proceeds the sum of $605,000 to be paid to the defendant in execution, and the excess to be applied to the satisfaction on the execution. No bid under $605,000 may be received by the officer making the sale.  3.

Except as otherwise provided in NRS 115.055, if the sum of $605,000 is paid to the defendant in execution pursuant to subsection 2 or to a spouse pursuant to subsection 3, such sum of $605,000 possesses all the protection against legal process and voluntary disposition by the defendant or spouse as did the original homestead.

(b) If it was the separate property of the decedent, the exemption of the homestead from execution continues as to any debt or liability existing against the spouses, or either of them, at the time of death of the decedent but ceases as to any subsequent debt or liability of the survivor.  (c) The property belongs to the person, or his or her heirs, to whom it belonged when filed upon as a homestead.  3.

(b) The right of enjoyment of the property belongs to each person described in paragraph (a) until that person no longer qualifies under that paragraph.  4. If two or more persons who are not related by consanguinity or affinity have claimed as a homestead their respective undivided interests in a single parcel of land or a mobile home, upon the death of one the exemption of the entire property from execution continues as to any debt or liability of the decedent and the other declarants until the death of the last declarant to die, but only for the benefit of a declarant who continues to reside on or in the property.
