NV Rev Stat § 153.070 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 153 - Administration of Trusts; Estates for Life and Years|NRS 153.070 - Expenses and compensation of trustees.

The expenses and compensation of a trustee of a testamentary trust must initially be governed by the terms of the will which created the testamentary trust or as otherwise ordered by the court at the time the testamentary trust is established. Thereafter, subject to any contrary terms of the testamentary trust or an order of the court, the court shall allow the trustee his or her proper expenses and such compensation for services as are just and reasonable. Where there are several trustees, compensation must be apportioned among the trustees according to the respective services rendered, and such compensation may be a fixed yearly compensation for each trustee, a set amount for the term of service, an hourly rate for services rendered or pursuant to a standard schedule of fees. The provisions of this section must not be interpreted to abridge the authority of a court having jurisdiction over a testamentary trust pursuant to NRS 153.020 or 164.010 to review and settle the expenses and compensation of the trustee of a testamentary trust upon the petition of any interested person.

2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 154 - Escheats|NRS 154.080 - Sale of real property after judgment: Procedure.

  1. Upon any judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, escheating real property to the State, on petition of the Attorney General, or on petition of a personal representative of the estate, the court shall, or the court may upon its own motion, enter an order that the real property be sold by the sheriff of the county where the property is situated, at public sale, after giving notice of the time and place of sale as is provided in cases of sale of property under execution.  2. The sheriff shall, within 10 days after the sale, submit a report thereof to the court. Upon the hearing of the report, the court may examine the report and any witnesses, and if the proceedings were unfair, or the sum bid is disproportionate to the value of the property sold, or if it appears that a sum exceeding the bid by at least 5 percent may be obtained, the court may vacate the sale and direct another sale to be conducted in all respects as if no previous sale had taken place.  3. If an offer of 5 percent more in amount than that named in the report is made to the court in writing by a responsible person, the court may accept that offer and confirm the sale, or order a new sale.  4. If it appears to the court that the sale was legally made and fairly conducted, and that the sum bid is not disproportionate to the value of the property sold, and that a sum in excess of 5 percent more than the bid cannot be obtained, or if an increased bid was accepted by the court, the court shall enter an order confirming the sale and directing the sheriff, in the name of the State, to execute to the purchaser a conveyance of the property sold. The conveyance vests in the purchaser all the right and title of the State therein.  5. The sheriff shall, out of the proceeds of the sale, pay the costs of the proceedings incurred on behalf of the State, including the expenses of making the sale, and also an attorney’s fee, if additional counsel was employed in the proceedings, to be fixed by the court. The sheriff shall deposit the remaining proceeds in the State Treasury for credit to the Fund for Escheated Estates.  [Part 313:107:1941; 1931 NCL § 9882.313] — (NRS A 1983, 1091; 1999, 2355)

  1. If, within 6 years after any judgment escheating property to the State, any person claims any money or property vested in the State by the judgment, the person may file a petition in the district court of Carson City, stating the nature of the claim, with an appropriate request for the relief demanded.  2. A copy of the petition must be served upon the Attorney General before or at the time of filing. Within 20 days after service, the Attorney General shall appear in the proceeding and plead or answer the petition. If, after examining all the facts, the Attorney General is convinced that the State has no legal defense against the petition, the Attorney General may, with the consent of the court, confess judgment on behalf of the State.  3. If judgment is not confessed, the petition is at issue on the 20th day after its filing, and may be heard by the court on that day, or at such future day as the court may order.  4. Upon the hearing, the court shall examine the claim and hear the allegations and evidence. If the court finds that the person is entitled to any money, it shall, by judgment, order the State Controller to draw a warrant in favor of the claimant upon the State Treasurer for the sum specified in the order, but without interest, income or cost of any kind to the state. A certified copy of the judgment and order directing the State Controller to draw the warrant for money is a sufficient voucher to do so.  5. If any property is the subject of the trial, and the court finds the claimant entitled to it, the court shall enter an order accordingly. The order divests the interests of the State in or to the property, but no interest, income or other cost of any kind may be taxed against the State.  6. If any property has been sold as provided in this chapter after the judgment of escheat, the petitioner is entitled to the proceeds of the sale less the cost of the sale without any interest, income or other cost to the State of any kind, in lieu of the property, and the court shall enter an order accordingly.  7. All persons, except minors and incapacitated persons, who fail to appear and file their petitions within the time limited in subsection 1 are barred forever. Minors and incapacitated persons may appear and file their petitions at any time within 5 years after their respective disabilities are removed.
