My parent told me he wanted me to have his estate, but he did not put it in a will or died before the will was complete. What happens?

This is an oral will, which is invalid in Nevada. Statements to this effect are called “noncupative statements” and they are not effective. If your parent died with a will, the will controls. If your parent died without a will, the intestacy laws dictate who will inherit.

If the will was written but not signed, it does not meet the requirements for a valid will in Nevada. The intestacy laws apply.
