In a probate case, you can petition the probate commissioner (judge) for instructions on how property is to be distributed.
Questions commonly arise when a will leaves out a child but does not specifically state that they are disinherited, refers to “children” but not stepchildren, or refers to “my spouse,” but the will was written at a time when the decedent had a different spouse. Some of these situations are resolved by existing law in Nevada, but sometimes a petition for instructions is required.
