What is the Nevada Affidavit of Entitlement?

The Nevada Affidavit of Entitlement (also known as a Small Estate Affidavit) is a sworn legal statement that allows the rightful heir(s) to collect the personal property (like bank accounts, final paychecks, or safe deposit boxes) of a deceased person without going through the formal probate court process. This simplified procedure is available under NRS 146.080 when the total value of the decedent's Nevada estate subject to probate does not exceed $25,000.

This affidavit is used to:

Present to a bank to close the decedent's account.
Claim a final paycheck from an employer.
Take possession of the contents of a safe deposit box.
Collect other personal property held by a third party.

The heir(s) must sign the affidavit under penalty of perjury, and their signature(s) must be notarized. This tells the institution holding the asset that the signer is legally entitled to the property and accepts liability for its distribution.

Step-by-Step Notarization Process

Complete the Affidavit

Fill in all required information: the decedent's details, a list of all known heirs, a description of the assets to be collected, and a statement confirming the estate's value is under $25,000. Do not sign yet.

Gather Necessary Documents

You will typically need a certified copy of the death certificate and a valid, government-issued photo ID for each person signing the affidavit.

Schedule a Mobile Notary Appointment

Arrange for our mobile notary to meet the heir(s) at a convenient time and place. If multiple heirs need to sign, we can coordinate appointments.

Sign in the Notary's Presence

The notary will verify the identity of each signer and administer an oath or affirmation, where you swear that the contents of the affidavit are true and correct.

Notary Completes the Jurat

After witnessing the signature, the notary will complete the notarial certificate (the "jurat"), sign it, and affix their official seal. This makes the document legally valid.

Present the Affidavit to the Asset Holder

Take the original, notarized affidavit and the certified death certificate to the bank, employer, or other institution to claim the assets.
