A notice of death has been filed for the settlor of a trust, triggering a 90-day period for creditors to submit claims against either the settlor’s estate or the trust itself, according to a legal notice published in the Nevada Appeal on February 14, 2026.
The notice, published in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 164.025, details the requirements for creditors seeking to recover debts. The statute outlines procedures for notifying creditors of a settlor’s death and establishes a timeline for filing claims. The notice specifies that claims against the settlor must be filed with the trustee within 90 days of the first publication date of the notice, while claims against the trust estate also have the same 90-day filing window.
NRS 164.025, as codified in the Nevada Revised Statutes, governs the administration of trusts and the handling of claims following a settlor’s death. The law requires trustees of nontestamentary trusts to publish a notice in a manner consistent with NRS 155.020, and to directly mail copies to known or readily identifiable creditors. Failure to file a claim within the stipulated timeframe may impact a creditor’s ability to recover assets from the estate or trust.
The statute also addresses the process for handling rejected claims. If a claim is rejected by the trustee, the creditor is notified, and a further period is allotted to initiate legal action. Failure to pursue a lawsuit following notification of a rejected claim can result in the claim being permanently barred. The law mandates notification to the Department of Health and Human Services in certain cases.
The published notice does not identify the settlor, the trustee, or the specific trust involved, only stating that the trustee is “duly appointed and qualified.” The notice directs creditors to contact the trustee at an unspecified address for claim submission.
