What happens if I make a will and it gets lost or destroyed?

In Nevada, if you make a will or trust and it gets lost or destroyed, it will be like you never had a will or trust. If that happens, the courts will take over and you will be considered intestate. For this reason, we keep a certified copy of your documents as a legal document custodian with every estate planning package we offer. In fact, NRS 240A.220 legally protects your documents while they are in our possession for a minimum of 3 years. If you ever lose the original, all you have to do is notify us and we will send you a certified copy.
