Nevada court costs

Nevada probate filing cost: $72–$171

The NRS 19.013 base petition fee is $72 when the stated estate value exceeds $2,500, and nothing at $2,500 or less. A petition for letters testamentary or letters of administration also carries a separate additional fee under NRS 19.0302(1)(c): nothing at $20,000 or less, $99 above $20,000 and below $300,000, and $352 at $300,000 or more.

$72–$171 is the range of statutory totals at a $100,000 estate, because the proceedings below are priced differently. Sources reviewed August 7, 2026. Sources rechecked October 3, 2026. This page last revised .

What Nevada statutes set in probate fees at a $100,000 estate

  • Court filing: $72–$171, depending on the proceeding (NRS 19.013(1) and NRS 19.0302(1)(c)).
  • Personal representative: a schedule of 4% falling to 2% by NRS 150.020(1), on a base it defines, so it is not priced from the estate’s value; see the Nevada executor fee page.

Both charges fall on the same filing, so they are summed rather than listed as alternatives. NRS 19.0302(1) charges its fee "in addition to any other fee required by law", and (1)(c) applies it to the filing of a petition for letters, tiered by the stated value of the estate: nothing at $20,000 or less, $99 above $20,000 but below $300,000, and $352 at $300,000 or more. NRS 19.013 states its base fee includes the court fee prescribed by NRS 19.020. Counties may add separately authorised charges.

Open only within the $150,000 small-estate limit. The limit counts the estate’s fair market value less enforceable liens and encumbrances (NRS 146.070(1)(a)). Above it, this route is open only if the will directs the estate to the trustee of the decedent’s existing nontestamentary trust, and then only for that portion (NRS 146.070(1)(b)).

Not included in this total

  • The NRS 19.0302(1)(c) additional fee, which by its terms falls on letters petitions
  • Publication of notice
  • Certified copies
  • County-specific surcharges

NRS 19.0302(1)(c) names a petition for letters testamentary or letters of administration and does not by its terms reach a petition merely to set aside an estate without administration, so only the NRS 19.013 base fee is charged here.
