his or her heirs or devisees, subject to the power of the court to set it apart for a limited period to the family of the decedent, as herein provided. In either case it is not subject to the payment of any debt or liability existing against the spouses, or either of them, at the time of death of either, except it be secured by lawful liens thereon. Sec. 116. When property, other than a homestead selected and recorded during the lifetime of the decedent, is set apart to the use of the family in accordance with the provisions of this act, such property, if the decedent left a surviving spouse and no minor child, is the property of such spouse; if the decedent left also a minor child or children, one-half of such property belongs to the surviving spouse and the remainder to the child or in equal shares to the children; if there is no surviving spouse the whole belongs to the minor child or children. But if the homestead, so set apart, was the separate property of the decedent, the court can set it apart only for a limited period, to be designated in the order, which, in no case, shall extend beyond the lifetime of the surviving spouse, or, as to a child, beyond its minority, and, subject to such limited homestead right, such property belongs to the heirs or devisees of the decedent. Sec. 117. When a person shall die leaving an estate, the gross value of which does not exceed one thousand dollars, and there be a surviving husband or wife, or a minor child or children, such estate shall not be administered upon, but the whole thereof, after directing such payments as may be deemed just, shall be, by an order for that purpose, assigned and set apart for the support of the surviving husband or wife or minor children of the deceased, or for the support of the minor child or children, if there be no surviving husband or wife; provided, that the whole of such estate, even though there be a surviving husband or wife, may, in the discretion of the court, after directing the deductions aforesaid, be set aside to the minor child or children of the deceased according to the subserviency of the best interests of such minor child or children; provided, further, that when a person shall die leaving no surviving spouse nor minor child, and an estate, the gross value of which does not exceed four hundred dollars, upon good cause shown therefor, the judge may order that such estate shall not be administered upon, but the whole thereof shall be by the judge, by an order for that purpose, assigned and set apart, first, to the payment of funeral expenses, expenses of last illness, and creditors, if any there be, and, second, any balance remaining to the claimant or claimants entitled thereto. All proceedings taken under this section, whether or not the decedent left a will, shall be originated by a verified petition containing a specific description of all of the decedents property, a list of all the liens, encumbrances of record at the date of his death, an estimate of the value of the property, and a statement of the debts of the decedent so far as known to the petitioner, and may include a prayer that if the court finds that the total value of the estate does not exceed, as the case may be, the sum of $1,000 or $400, the same be set aside as in this section provided. |

of record at the date of his death, an estimate of the value of the property, and a statement of the debts of the decedent so far as known to the petitioner, and may include a prayer that if the court finds that the total value of the estate does not exceed, as the case may be, the sum of $1,000 or $400, the same be set aside as in this section provided. Notice of such petition shall be given by posting such notice upon the bulletin board of the county courthouse of the county in which said petition is filed for at least ten days before the date set for the hearing of said petition. If such be the fact, the notice shall include a statement that a prayer for setting aside the estate to the husband, or wife, or minor child, or children, as the case may be, is included in the petition. Sec. 118. If the widow or any minor child has a reasonable maintenance derived from other property, and there are other persons entitled to a family allowance, the allowance shall be granted only to those who have not such maintenance, or such allowance may be apportioned in such manner as may be just. Sec. 119. Every executor or administrator shall, immediately after his appointment, cause to be published in some newspaper published in the county, if there be one, if not, then in such newspaper as may be designated by the court or judge, and post a copy thereof at the courthouse of the county a notice of his appointment as such executor or administrator. Such notice shall be properly entitled in the court and cause, specifying the date of appointment, the name of deceased, and shall be dated and officially signed by the executor or administrator, and shall direct that all persons having claims against the estate are required to file the same, with the proper vouchers and statutory affidavits attached, with the clerk of the court within three months from the date of the first publication of the notice. Such notice shall be published at least once a week for four weeks. After the notice shall have been given as above required, a copy thereof, with the affidavit of publication and posting, shall be filed. In case an executor or administrator dies, resigns, or is removed after the expiration of the time for the publication of notice to creditors as provided in this section and in section 308 of this act, his successor need give no further notice to creditors. At any time after the issuance of letters testamentary or of administration upon the estate of any decedent any person interested in said estate, or the property thereof, or the attorney for such person, may serve upon the executor or administrator (or upon the attorney for the executor or administrator), and file with the clerk of the court wherein administration of such estate is pending a written request stating that he desires special notice of any or all of the following-mentioned matters, steps or proceedings in the administration of said estate, to wit:
|
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 189 (CHAPTER 107, AB 5)κ
|
of the following-mentioned matters, steps or proceedings in the administration of said estate, to wit: 1. Filing of returns of sales, leases or mortgages of any property of the estate, and for confirmation thereof. 2. Filing of accounts. 3. Filing of petitions for any purpose. Such request shall state the post-office address of such person or his attorney, and thereafter a brief notice of the filing of any such returns, petitions or accounts, shall be addressed to such person, or his attorney, at his stated post-office address, and deposited in the United States post office, with the postage thereon prepaid, within two days after the filing of such return, petition or account; or personal service of such notices may be made on such person or his attorney within said two days, and such personal service shall be equivalent to such deposit in the post office, and proof of mailing or of personal service must be filed with the clerk before the hearing of such petition, return or account. If, upon the hearing, it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court that the said notice has been regularly given, the court shall so find in its order or judgment and such judgment shall be final and conclusive upon all persons. Sec. 120. All persons having claims against the deceased must, within three months after the first publication of the notice specified in section 119, file the same, with the necessary vouchers, with the clerk of the court, who shall file and register each claim. If a claim be not filed with the clerk within three months after the first publication of said notice, it shall be forever barred; provided, that when it shall be made to appear by the affidavit of the claimant, or by other proof, that he had no notice as provided in this act, to the satisfaction of the court or judge, it may be filed at any time before the filing of the final account. No holder of a claim against an estate shall maintain an action thereon unless the claim is first filed with the clerk, except in the following case: An action may be brought by the holder of a mortgage or lien to enforce the same against the property of the estate subject thereto where all recourse against any other property of the estate is expressly waived in the complaint. All claims paid shall bear interest from date of filing and at the rate of 3% per annum unless a different rate is by contract or otherwise applicable thereto. Sec. 121. Every claim filed with the clerk shall be supported by the affidavit of the claimant that the amount is justly due (or if the claim is not yet due, that the amount is a just demand and will be due on the......day of..........), that no payments have been made thereon which are not credited, and that there are no offsets to the same to the knowledge of the claimant or other affiant; provided, that when the affidavit is made by any other person than the claimant, the reasons why it is not made by the claimant shall be set forth in the affidavit. |

knowledge of the claimant or other affiant; provided, that when the affidavit is made by any other person than the claimant, the reasons why it is not made by the claimant shall be set forth in the affidavit. The oath may be taken before any officer authorized to administer oaths. The amount of interest shall be computed and included in the statement of the claim and the rate of interest determined. The court may, in its discretion, for good cause shown, allow a defective claim or affidavit to be corrected or amended on application made at any time before the filing of the final account. Sec. 122. If the executor or administrator is a creditor of the decedent he shall file his claim with the clerk who must present it for allowance or rejection to the judge. Its allowance by the judge is sufficient evidence of its correctness, and it must be paid as other claims in due course of administration. If the judge rejects the claim, action thereon may be had against the executor or administrator as such by the claimant, and summons must be served upon the judge, who shall appoint an attorney, at the expense of the estate, to defend the action. If the claimant fails to recover he must pay all costs, including defendants reasonable attorneys fees, to be fixed by the court. If a judge of the district court files or presents a claim against any estate of a deceased person, the administration of which is pending before him, such judge must designate, in writing, some other district judge of the district court of the State of Nevada, who, upon the presentation of such claim to him, shall be vested with power to approve or reject it. In case of its rejection by the executor or administrator or by such designated judge, the claimant has the same right to sue for its recovery as other persons whose claims are rejected. Sec. 123. Within fifteen days after the time for filing claims has expired, as hereinbefore provided, the executor or administrator shall examine all claims filed and endorse on each claim his allowance or rejection, with the day and the year thereof, and within five days after the fifteen days in this section first specified the executor or administrator shall present all claims allowed by him to the district judge for his approval or rejection. If an executor or administrator refuse or neglect to endorse on a claim his allowance or rejection within fifteen days, as above specified, the claim may be deemed rejected, but the executor or administrator may, nevertheless, allow said claim at any time before the filing of the final account. All claims, when approved by the judge, shall be ranked among the acknowledged debts of the estate, to be paid in due course of administration. If the claim be founded upon a bond, bill, note or other instrument, the original instrument need not be filed, but a copy, with all endorsements, may be attached to the statement of the claim and filed therewith, and if the claim be secured by mortgage, deed of trust, or other evidence of lien, it shall, or a certified copy from a record, be attached to the claim and filed therewith. |

the claim be founded upon a bond, bill, note or other instrument, the original instrument need not be filed, but a copy, with all endorsements, may be attached to the statement of the claim and filed therewith, and if the claim be secured by mortgage, deed of trust, or other evidence of lien, it shall, or a certified copy from a record, be attached to the claim and filed therewith. Sec. 124. When a claim is rejected by the executor or administrator or the district judge, in whole or in part, the holder shall be immediately notified by the executor or administrator, and such holder must bring suit in the proper court against the executor or administrator within thirty days after such notice, whether the claim is due or not; otherwise the claim shall be forever barred. If the holder of a claim resides out of the county, he may be informed of the rejection of his claim by written notice forwarded to his post-office address by registered mail. In any suit upon a claim rejected in whole or in part by the executor or administrator, if the executor or administrator resides out of the state, or has departed from the state, or cannot, after due diligence, be found within the state, or conceals himself to avoid the service of summons, the summons, together with a certified copy of the complaint, may be served upon the county clerk of the county within which the administration of the estate is pending, in the manner prescribed in section 324 of this act, and such service is hereby made the equivalent of personal service upon the executor or administrator, but the defendant shall have thirty days from the date of such service within which to answer. In the event that the defendant defaults after such service, such default shall be sufficient grounds for his removal as executor or administrator by the court, and without notice; whereupon, upon petition and notice, in the manner provided for an application for letters of administration, an administrator, or an administrator with the will annexed, as the case may be, shall be appointed by the court and upon his qualification as such letters of administration, or letters of administration with the will annexed, shall be issued. Sec. 125. No claim which is barred by the statute of limitations shall be allowed or approved by the executor or administrator, or by the judge. When a claim is presented to a judge for his allowance or approval he may, in his discretion, examine the claimant and others on oath, and hear any legal evidence touching the validity of the claim. No claim, which has been allowed, is affected by the statute of limitations pending the administration of the estate. Sec. 126. No holder of any claim against an estate shall maintain any action thereon unless it shall have been first filed, and under the conditions hereinbefore specified. |

filed, and under the conditions hereinbefore specified. If the executor or administrator doubts the correctness of any claim filed or presented he may enter into an agreement in writing with the claimant to refer the matter in controversy to some disinterested person, to be approved by the court or a judge thereof, which agreement and approval shall be filed with the clerk, who shall thereupon enter an order referring the matter in controversy to the person so selected; or, if the parties consent, a reference may be made to the court. The referee must hear and determine the matter and make his report thereon to the court. The same proceedings shall be had in all respects and the referee shall have the same powers, be entitled to the same compensation and subject to the same control as in other cases of reference. The court may remove the referee, appoint another in his place, set aside or confirm his report, and adjudge costs, as in actions against executors or administrators, and the judgment of the court thereon shall be as valid and effectual, in all respects, as if the same had been rendered in a suit commenced by ordinary process; but the report of the referee, if confirmed, merely establishes or rejects the claim, the same as if it had been allowed or rejected by the executor or administrator or judge. Sec. 127. After the time for the presentation of claims has expired the executor or administrator, with the approval of the court, may compromise any claim against the estate or any suit brought against the executor or administrator as such by the transfer of specific assets of the estate or otherwise. To obtain such approval the executor or administrator shall file a verified petition with the clerk showing the advantage of the compromise. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court, and notice thereof shall be given for the period and in the manner required by section 283 of this act. If, under this section, the court authorizes the transfer of real property of the estate, conveyances shall be executed by the executor or administrator in the same manner as provided in section 162 of this act, and such conveyances shall have the same force and effect as conveyances executed pursuant to that section. A certified copy of the order authorizing the transfer must be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the real property, or any portion thereof, lies. Sec. 128. The time during which there shall be a vacancy in the administration shall not be included in any limitations herein prescribed. Sec. 129. If an action be pending against the deceased at the time of his or her death, the plaintiff, in like manner, shall file his claim with the clerk, and no recovery shall be held in the action unless proof be made of such filing. Sec. 130. Whenever the executor or administrator or the district judge shall act upon any claim that may be filed, he shall indorse on the claim the amount he is willing to allow, and should the creditor refuse to accept the amount allowed in satisfaction of his claim, he shall recover no costs in any action which he may bring on such claim against the executor or administrator unless he shall recover a greater amount than that offered to be allowed. |

district judge shall act upon any claim that may be filed, he shall indorse on the claim the amount he is willing to allow, and should the creditor refuse to accept the amount allowed in satisfaction of his claim, he shall recover no costs in any action which he may bring on such claim against the executor or administrator unless he shall recover a greater amount than that offered to be allowed. Sec. 131. The effect of any judgment rendered against any executor or administrator upon any claim for money against the estate of his testator or intestate shall only be to establish the claim in the same manner as if it had been allowed by the executor or administrator and the district judge, and the judgment shall be that the executor or administrator pay, in due course of administration, the amount ascertained to be due. A certified copy of the judgment shall be filed in the estate proceedings. No execution shall issue upon such judgment, nor shall it create any lien upon the property of the estate, nor give the judgment creditor any priority of payment. This section does not apply to a judgment of foreclosure of a lien. Sec. 132. When any judgment has been rendered against the deceased in his or her lifetime no execution shall issue thereon after his or her death; but a certified copy of such judgment shall be attached to the statement of claim filed with the clerk and shall be acted on as any other claim; provided, however, that if an execution has been actually levied upon any property of the deceased in his lifetime the same may be sold for the satisfaction thereof, and the officer making the sale shall account to the executor or administrator for any surplus in his hands. Sec. 133. When a judgment has been recovered with costs against any executor or administrator, the executor or administrator shall be personally liable for the costs, but they shall be allowed him in his administration accounts, unless it shall appear that the suit or proceeding, in which the costs were taxed, shall have been prosecuted or resisted without cause. Sec. 134. If any executor or administrator shall neglect, for fifteen days after his appointment, to give notice of his appointment as hereinbefore prescribed it shall be the duty of the court to revoke his letters. Sec. 135. If the testator make provision by his will, or designates the estate to be appropriated for the payment of his debts, the expenses of administration, or family allowance, they must be paid according to such provision or out of the estate thus appropriated, so far as the same is sufficient. If insufficient, that portion of the estate not disposed of by the will, if any, must be appropriated for that purpose; and if that is not sufficient, the property given to residuary legatees and devisees, and thereafter all other property devised and bequeathed is liable for the same, in proportion to the value or amount of the several devises and legacies, but specific devises and legacies are exempt from such liability if it appears to the court necessary to carry into effect the intention of the testator, and there is other sufficient estate. |

property devised and bequeathed is liable for the same, in proportion to the value or amount of the several devises and legacies, but specific devises and legacies are exempt from such liability if it appears to the court necessary to carry into effect the intention of the testator, and there is other sufficient estate. Sec. 136. The property of a testator, except as otherwise provided in this act, must be restored to for the payment of legacies in the following order: (1) The property which is expressly appropriated by the will therefor; (2) Property not disposed of by the will; (3) Property which is devised or bequeathed to a residuary legatee. Sec. 137. Unless a different intention is expressed in the will, abatement takes place in any class only as between legacies of that class, and legacies to a spouse or to kindred are chargeable only after legacies to persons not related to the testator. Sec. 138. When property given by will to persons other than the residuary devisees and legatees is sold for the payment of debts or expenses or family allowance, all the devisees and legatees must contribute according to their respective interests, to the devisee or legatee whose devise or legacy has been sold, and the court, when distribution is made, must settle the amount of the several liabilities and decree the amount each person shall contribute, and reserve the same from its distributive share for the purpose of such contribution. Sec. 139. In selling property to pay debts, legacies, family allowance or expenses, there shall be no priority between personal and real property. When a sale of property of the estate is necessary for any such purpose, or when it is for the advantage, benefit, and best interests of the estate and those interested therein that any property of the estate be sold, the executor or administrator may sell the same, either at public auction or private sale, using his discretion as to which property to sell first, except as provided by sections 135 and 136 of this act. Sec. 140. Except as provided by sections 151 and 152 of this act all sales of property must be reported to the court and confirmed by the court before the title to the property passes. The report must be verified. Such report and a petition for confirmation of the sale must be made within thirty days after each sale. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court and give notice thereof for the period and in the manner required by section 283 of this act, or for such a period and in such manner as may be ordered by the court. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 195 (CHAPTER 107, AB 5)κ
|
Sec. 141. Any person interested in the estate may file written objections to the confirmation of the sale and may be heard thereon, and may produce witnesses in support of his objections. Before an order is made confirming a sale it must be proved to the satisfaction of the court that notice of the sale was given as prescribed by this act, and the order of confirmation must show that such proof was made. Sec. 142. When property is directed by the will to be sold, or authority is given in the will to sell the property, the executor may sell the same either at public auction or private sale, and with or without notice, as he may determine, but he must make a return of sales and obtain confirmation thereof as in other cases. In either case no title passes unless the sale is confirmed by the court; but the necessity of the sale, or its advantage or benefit to the estate or to those interested therein need not be shown. If directions are given in the will as to the mode of selling, or the particular property to be sold, such directions must be observed. Sec. 143. If the executor or administrator neglects or refuses to sell any property of the estate when it is necessary or when it is for the advantage, benefit and best interests of the estate and those interested therein, or when the executor is directed by the will to sell the same, any person interested may petition the court for an order requiring the executor or administrator to sell. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court, and notice thereof must be given to the executor or administrator by citation served at least five days before the hearing Sec. 144. If there is any neglect or misconduct in the proceedings of the executor or administrator in relation to any sale by which any person interested in the estate suffers damage, the party aggrieved may recover the same in an action upon the bond of the executor or administrator or otherwise. Sec. 145. The executor or administrator may enter into a written contract with any bona fide agent to secure a purchaser for any real or personal property of the estate, which contract shall provide for the payment to such agent, out of the proceeds of a sale to any purchaser secured by him of a commission, the amount of which must be fixed and allowed by the court upon confirmation of the sale, and when said sale is confirmed to such purchaser such contract shall be binding and valid as against the estate for the amount so allowed by the court. By the execution of any such contract no personal liability shall attach to the executor or administrator, and no liability of any kind shall be incurred by the estate unless an actual sale is made and confirmed by the court. |

by the court. The commission in no case shall exceed five percent (5%). Sec. 146. In case of sale on an increased bid made at the time of confirmation to a purchaser not procured by the agent holding the contract, the court shall allow a commission on the full amount for which the sale is confirmed, one-half of said commission on the original bid to be paid to the agent whose bid was returned to the court for confirmation and the balance of the commission on the purchase price to the agent, if any, who procured the purchaser to whom the sale is confirmed. Sec. 147. When real or personal property is sold, which is subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien which is a valid claim against the estate, the purchase money must be applied after paying the necessary expenses of the sale; first, to the payment and satisfaction of the mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien, and the residue, if any, in due course of administration. The application of the purchase money to the satisfaction of the mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien must be made without delay, and the property is subject to such mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien until the purchase money has been actually so applied. Sec. 148. The purchase money, or so much thereof as may be sufficient to pay such mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien, with interest, and any lawful costs and charges thereon, may be paid to the clerk of the court, whereupon the mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien upon the property shall cease, and the purchase money must be paid over by the clerk of the court without delay, in payment of the expenses of sale, and in satisfaction of the obligation to secure which the mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien, was taken, and the surplus, if any, at once returned to the executor or administrator, unless, for good cause shown, after notice to the executor or administrator, the court otherwise directs. Sec. 149. At any sale of real or personal property upon which there is a mortgage, deed of trust, or lien, the holder thereof may become the purchaser, and his receipt for the amount due him from the proceeds of the sale is a payment pro tanto. Sec. 150. It shall be lawful for an executor or administrator to sell the equity of the estate in any property which is subject to any encumbrance, and to sell the same subject to the encumbrance and to the debt thereby secured, upon such proceedings as are herein prescribed for the sale of like property. In the event that a claim has been filed upon said debt no such sale shall be confirmed unless the holder of such claim shall, by a signed and acknowledged instrument, filed in the matter of the estate, release said estate from all liability upon said claim. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 197 (CHAPTER 107, AB 5)κ
|
in the matter of the estate, release said estate from all liability upon said claim. Sec. 151. Perishable property and other personal property which will depreciate in value if not disposed of promptly, or which will incur loss or expense by being kept, and so much other personal property as may be necessary to provide the family allowance pending the receipt of other sufficient funds, may be sold without notice, and title shall pass without confirmation, but the executor, administrator or special administrator is responsible for the actual value of the property, unless, after making a sworn return, and on a proper showing, the court shall approve the sale. Sec. 152. Stocks and bonds may be sold and title thereto passed without the necessity of confirmation, upon obtaining an order of the court. A petition for such an order shall be filed with the clerk who shall set the same for hearing by the court and shall give notice thereof for the period and in the manner required by section 283 of this act, but the court or judge may order the notice to be given for a shorter period, or dispensed with. The order shall fix the terms and conditions of sale and may dispense with notice of sale when the minimum selling price is fixed, or when the securities are to be sold upon an established stock or bond exchange. Sec. 153. Except as provided by sections 151 and 152 of this act, personal property may be sold only after public notice given for at least ten days by notices posted in three public places in the county in which the proceedings are pending, or by publication in a newspaper in such county, or both, as the executor or administrator may determine, containing the time and place of sale, and a brief description of the property to be sold. Public sales must be made at the courthouse door, or at some other public place, or at the residence of the decedent; but no sale shall be made of any personal property which is not present at the time of sale, unless the court shall otherwise order. Sec. 154. Personal property may be sold for cash, or upon a credit. If a sale is made upon a credit, not less than twenty-five percent of the purchase price shall be paid in cash at the time of sale. The executor or administrator shall take the note of the purchaser for the balance of the purchase money, with a pledge or chattel mortgage of the personal property sold, to secure the payment of said balance, or shall enter into a conditional sale contract under which title is retained until such balance is paid, the terms of said note and pledge or chattel mortgage or contract to be approved by the court at the time of confirmation of sale. Sec. 155. Partnership interests or interests belonging to an estate by virtue of any partnership formerly existing, an interest in personal property pledged, and choses in action, may be sold in the same manner as other personal property. |

an estate by virtue of any partnership formerly existing, an interest in personal property pledged, and choses in action, may be sold in the same manner as other personal property. Before confirming the sale of a partnership interest, whether made to the surviving partner or to any other person, the court must carefully inquire into the condition of the partnership affairs, and must examine the surviving partner, if in the county and able to be present in court. Sec. 156. Notice of the time and place of sale of real property must be published in a newspaper published in the county in which the land or some portion thereof lies, if there is one so published; if none, then in such paper as the court or judge may direct, for such period of time as the court or judge may direct not exceeding two weeks before the day of sale, or, in the case of a private sale, before the day on or after which the sale is to be made. When, however, it appears from the inventory and appraisement that the value of the property to be sold does not exceed five hundred dollars, the executor or administrator may, in his discretion, dispense with the publication, and in lieu thereof post a notice of the time and place of sale in three of the most public places in the county, in which the land or some portion thereof lies, for two weeks before the day of the sale, or, in the case of a private sale, before the day on or after which the sale is to be made. The property proposed to be sold must be described with common certainty in the notice. Sec. 157. Sales at public auction must be made in the county in which the land lies, and if it lies in two or more counties, it may be sold in either. The sale must be made between the hours of nine oclock in the morning and the setting of the sun on the same day, and must be made on the day named in the notice of sale, unless the same is postponed. Sec. 158. In the case of a private sale, the notice must state a place where bids or offers will be received, and a day on or after which the sale will be made, which day must be at least fifteen days from the first publication or posting of the notice, and the sale must not be made before that day, but must be made within one year thereafter; but if it is shown that it will be for the best interests of the estate, the court or judge may, by an order, decrease the number of publications and shorten the time of notice, which shall not, however, be less than one week, and may provide that the sale may be made on or after a day less than fifteen but not less than eight days from the first publication or posting of the notice, in which case the notice of sale and the sale may be made to correspond with such order. The bids or offers must be in writing, and may be left at the place designated in the notice or delivered to the executor or administrator personally, or may be filed in the office of the clerk of the court where the proceedings are pending, at any time after the first publication or posting of the notice and before the making of the sale. |

or administrator personally, or may be filed in the office of the clerk of the court where the proceedings are pending, at any time after the first publication or posting of the notice and before the making of the sale. Sec. 159. If, at the time appointed for the sale, the executor or administrator deems it for the interest of all persons concerned therein that the same be postponed, he may postpone it from time to time, not exceeding in all three months. In case of a postponement, notice thereof must be given by a public declaration at the time and place first appointed for the sale. Sec. 160. No sale of real property at private sale shall be confirmed by the court unless the court is satisfied that the sum offered represents the fair market value of the property sold, nor unless such real property has been appraised within one year of the time of such sale. If it has not been appraised, a new appraisement must be had, as in the case of an original appraisement of an estate. This may be done at any time before the sale or confirmation thereof. Sec. 161. Upon the hearing the court must examine into the necessity for the sale, or the advantage, benefit, and interest of the estate in having the sale made, and must examine the return and witnesses in relation to the sale; and if it appears to the court that good reason existed for the sale, that the sale was legally made and fairly conducted, and complied with the requirements of the previous section, that the sum bid is not disproportionate to the value, and it does not appear that a sum exceeding such bid at least ten percent may be obtained, the court shall make an order confirming the sale and directing conveyances to be executed; otherwise it shall vacate the sale and direct another to be had, of which notice must be given and the sale in all respects conducted as if no previous sale had taken place. But if a written offer of ten percent more in amount than that named in the return is made to the court by a responsible person, and the bid complies with all provisions of the law, it is in the discretion of the court to accept such offer and confirm the sale to such person, or to order a new sale, or to conduct a public auction in open court. Sec. 162. Conveyances must thereupon be executed to the purchaser by the executor or administrator, and they must refer to the order confirming sale and directing conveyances to be executed, a certified copy of which order must be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the land or any portion thereof lies. Conveyances so made convey all the right, title, interest and estate of the decedent in the premises at the time of his death; and if, prior to the sale, by operation of law or otherwise, the estate has acquired any right, title or interest in the premises, other than or in addition to that of the decedent at the time of his death, such right, title, or interest also passes by such conveyances. |

acquired any right, title or interest in the premises, other than or in addition to that of the decedent at the time of his death, such right, title, or interest also passes by such conveyances. Sec. 163. If a sale is made upon a credit, the executor or administrator must take the note or notes of the purchaser for the unpaid portion of the purchase money, with a mortgage or deed of trust on the property to secure their payment. Sec. 164. If, after the confirmation, the purchaser neglects or refuses to comply with the terms of the sale, the court, on motion of the executor or administrator, and after notice to the purchaser, may vacate the order of confirmation and order a resale of the property. If the amount realized on such resale does not cover the bid and the expenses of the previous sale, such purchaser is liable to the estate for the deficiency. Sec. 165. An executor or administrator who fraudulently sells any real property of a decedent contrary to or otherwise than under the provisions of this act is liable in double the value of the land sold, as liquidated damages, to be recovered in an action by the person having an estate of inheritance therein. Sec. 166. No action for the recovery of any property sold by an executor or administrator in accordance with the provisions of this act can be maintained by any heir or other person claiming under the deceased unless it be commenced prior to final distribution. Sec. 167. If a decedent, at the time of his death, was possessed of a contract for the purchase of real property, his interest in such property and under such contract may be sold by his executor or administrator, in the same manner as if he had died seised of such property, and the same proceedings may be had for that purpose as are prescribed in this act for the sale of property of which he died seised, except as hereinafter provided. Sec. 168. The sale must be made subject to all payments which are due at the time of sale or which may thereafter become due on such contract, and, if there are any such, the sale must not be confirmed by the court until the purchaser executes a bond to the executor or administrator for the benefit and indemnity of himself and of the persons entitled to the interest of the decedent in the lands so contracted for, in double the whole amount of payments then due and thereafter to become due on such contract, with such sureties as the court or judge shall approve. The bond must be conditioned that the purchaser will make all payments for such property which are then due or which become due after the date of the sale, and will fully indemnify the executor or administrator and the persons so entitled against all demands, costs, charges and expenses by reason of any covenant or agreement contained in such contract. |

administrator and the persons so entitled against all demands, costs, charges and expenses by reason of any covenant or agreement contained in such contract. Such bond need not be given when no claim has been made against the estate upon the contract and time for filing or presenting claims has expired, nor when the holder of said claim shall, by a signed and acknowledged instrument filed in the matter of the estate, release said estate from all liability upon said claim. Sec. 169. Upon the confirmation of the sale the executor or administrator must execute to the purchaser an assignment of the contract, which vests in the purchaser, his heirs and assigns, all the right, title and interest of the estate, or of the persons entitled to the interest of the decedent, in the property sold at the time of the sale, and the purchaser has the same rights and remedies against the vendor of such land as the decedent would have had if he were living. Sec. 170. To enter into an agreement to sell or to give an option to purchase a mining claim or claims, or real property worked as a mine, belonging to the estate of a decedent, the executor or administrator, or any person interested in the estate, shall file a verified petition describing the property in question, stating the terms and general conditions of the proposed agreement or option, showing the advantage or advantages that may accrue to the estate from entering into it, and praying for an order authorizing or directing its execution. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court and give notice thereof for the period and in the manner required by sections 283 and 284 of this act. Sec. 171. At the time appointed, the court, upon proof that due notice of the hearing has been given, shall proceed to hear the petition and any objection thereto that may have been filed or presented; and if, after a full hearing, the court is satisfied that it will be to the advantage of the estate to enter into the proposed agreement, it shall make an order authorizing and directing the executor or administrator to enter into such agreement of sale or to give such option to purchase. The order may prescribe the terms and conditions of the agreement or option. A certified copy of the order shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of every county in which the land affected by the agreement or option, or any portion thereof, lies. Sec. 172. At the time of making the order, the court shall fix the amount of such additional bond as it determines should be given by the executor or administrator, who shall not be entitled to receive any of the proceeds from said agreement or option until such bond is given and approved. When the order is made, the executor or administrator shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver an agreement or option to purchase containing the conditions specified in the order and setting forth therein that it is made by authority of the order, and giving the date of the order. |

If the purchaser or option holder neglects or refuses to comply with the terms of the agreement or option, the court, on motion of the executor or administrator, and after notice to the purchaser or option holder, shall make an order canceling the agreement or option; but such cancelation shall not affect any liability theretofore created. Sec. 174. When the terms of such agreement to sell or option to purchase have been complied with by the purchaser or option holder, and all payments have been made according to the terms thereof, the executor or administrator must make a return of his proceedings to the court and petition for a confirmation thereof, and thereupon notice shall be given, a hearing had, an order made by the court confirming or refusing to confirm the proceedings and conveyances executed, in the same manner and with like effect as in the case of the sale of any real property. Sec. 175. Whenever it shall appear to be to the advantage of the estate to borrow money upon a note or notes, either unsecured or to be secured by a chattel mortgage or other lien upon the personal property of the decedent, or any part thereof, or to be secured by a mortgage or deed of trust upon the real property of the decedent, or any part thereof, or to mortgage or give a deed of trust upon, or to pledge or give other lien upon, such property or any part thereof, in order to pay the debts of the decedent, or legacies, or expenses or charges of administration, or to pay, reduce, extend or renew some lien or mortgage or deed of trust already subsisting upon property of the estate, and as often as occasion therefor shall arise in the administration of the estate, the court may authorize, empower and direct the executor or administrator to borrow the money and to execute such note or notes, and, in a proper case, to execute such mortgage, or deed of trust, or to give other security by way of pledge or other lien, or may authorize, in a proper case, the execution of an extension agreement. When property of the estate consists of an undivided fractional interest in real or personal property, and it shall appear to be to the advantage of the estate to borrow money in order to improve, utilize, operate or preserve such property jointly with the other coowner or coowners, or in order to pay, reduce, extend or renew some pledge, lien, mortgage or deed of trust already subsisting upon all such property, including the other undivided interest or interests therein, the court may authorize, empower and direct the executor or administrator to borrow the money required for such purposes and to join with the owner or owners of the other undivided interest or interests in the property, or their duly authorized representatives or agents, in the execution of such joint and several note or notes as may be necessary, and to join with the owner or owners of the other undivided interest or interests in the property, or their duly authorized representatives or agents, in the execution of such pledge, lien, mortgage or deed of trust as may be required to secure the payment of such note or notes. |

interest or interests in the property, or their duly authorized representatives or agents, in the execution of such joint and several note or notes as may be necessary, and to join with the owner or owners of the other undivided interest or interests in the property, or their duly authorized representatives or agents, in the execution of such pledge, lien, mortgage or deed of trust as may be required to secure the payment of such note or notes. To obtain such orders, the proceedings to be taken and the effect thereof shall be as provided in the following four sections of this act. Sec. 176. The executor or administrator, or any person interested in the estate, shall file a verified petition showing the particular purpose or purposes for which the order is sought, the necessity for or advantage to accrue from the order, the amount of money proposed to be raised, if any, the rate of interest to be paid, the length of time the note or notes are to run, and a general description of the property proposed to be mortgaged or subjected to such deed of trust or other lien. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court and give notice thereof for the period and in the manner required by sections 283 and 284 of this act, or in the alternative give such notice as the court by order may require. Sec. 177. At the time appointed, the court, upon proof that due notice of the hearing has been given, shall proceed to hear the petition and any objection thereto that may have been filed or presented; and if, after a full hearing, the court is satisfied that it will be to the advantage of the estate, it shall make an order authorizing and directing the executor or administrator to borrow the money and to execute such note or notes, and, in a proper case, to execute such mortgage or deed of trust, or to give other security by way of pledge or other lien. The court may direct that a lesser amount than that named in the petition be borrowed, and may prescribe the maximum rate of interest and the period of the loan, and may direct in what coin or currency it shall be paid, and require that the interest and the whole or any part of the principal be paid, from time to time, out of the whole estate or any part thereof, and that the personal property to be mortgaged or subject to the lien, or any buildings on the premises to be mortgaged or subjected to the deed of trust, shall be insured for the further security of the lender, and the premiums paid from the assets of the estate. A certified copy of the order shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of every county in which the land affected by the order, or any portion thereof, lies. Sec. 178. The executor or administrator shall execute, acknowledge and deliver the mortgage, or deed of trust, or other security, as directed, setting forth therein that it is made by authority of the order, giving the date of the order. |

made by authority of the order, giving the date of the order. The note or notes and mortgage, or deed of trust, or other security, shall be signed by the executor or administrator as such, and shall create no personal liability against the person so signing. Sec. 179. Every mortgage, pledge or deed of trust so made shall be effectual to mortgage, pledge or subject to the deed of trust all right, title, interest and estate which the decedent had in the property described therein at the time of his death or prior thereto and any right, title or interest in said property acquired by the estate of such decedent, by operation of law or otherwise, since the time of his death. Jurisdiction of the court to administer the estate of such decedent shall be effectual to vest the court with jurisdiction to make the order for the note or notes, and mortgage, pledge or deed of trust, and such jurisdiction shall conclusively inure to the benefit of the mortgagee named in the mortgage, pledgee or the trustee and beneficiary in the deed of trust, his or their heirs, successors and assigns. No omission, error or irregularity in the proceedings shall impair or invalidate the same or the note or notes, mortgage, pledge or deed of trust given in pursuance thereof, and the mortgagee, pledgee or the trustee and beneficiary, their heirs, successors and assigns, shall have and possess the same rights and remedies on the note or notes and mortgage, pledge or deed of trust as if it had been made by the decedent prior to his death, except that upon any foreclosure or sale under the mortgage, pledge or deed of trust, if the proceeds of the sale of the encumbered property are insufficient to pay the note or notes, the mortgage, pledge or deed of trust, and the costs or expenses of sale, no judgment shall be had or allowed, except in cases where the note or notes, mortgage, pledge or deed of trust were given to pay, reduce, extend or renew a lien or mortgage, pledge, or deed of trust subsisting at the time of the death of the decedent and the indebtedness secured thereby was an allowed and approved claim against the estate, in which case the part of the indebtedness remaining unsatisfied must be classed and paid with other allowed claims against the estate. Sec. 180. Whenever it shall appear to be to the advantage of the estate to lease any real property of the decedent, and as often as occasion therefor shall arise in the administration of the estate, the court may authorize and direct the executor or administrator to execute such lease. Sec. 181. To obtain such an order the executor or administrator or any person interested in the estate shall file a verified petition, showing the advantage to accrue from giving the lease, a general description of the property proposed to be leased, and the term, rental, and general conditions of the proposed lease. |

the proposed lease. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court and give notice thereof for the period and in the manner required by sections 283 and 284 of this act, or in the alternative such notice as the court by order shall require. Sec. 182. At the time appointed, the court shall hear the petition and any objection thereto that may have been presented; and if the court is satisfied that it will be to the advantage of the estate, it shall make an order authorizing and directing the executor or administrator to make such lease. The order shall prescribe the minimum rental or royalty and the period of the lease and may prescribe other terms and conditions. The period of the lease must not be longer than ten years, except that for the purpose of production of minerals, oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances, the lease may be for a period not to exceed twenty years. A certified copy of the order shall be recorded in the office of the recorder of every county in which the leased land, or any portion thereof, lies. Sec. 183. The executor or administrator shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver the lease as directed, setting forth therein that it is made by authority of the order, giving the date of the order. Every lease so made shall be effectual to demise and let the premises described, at the rent, for the term and upon the conditions therein prescribed. Jurisdiction of the court to administer the estate of the decedent shall be effectual to vest the court with jurisdiction to make the order for the lease, and such jurisdiction shall conclusively inure to the benefit of the lessee, his heirs, successors and assigns. No omissions, error or irregularity in the proceedings shall impair or invalidate the same or the lease made in pursuance thereof. Sec. 184. The executor or administrator may lease real property without an order of court when the tenancy is from month to month, or for a term not to exceed one year, and the rental does not exceed one hundred dollars a month. Sec. 185. If a person, who is bound by contract in writing to convey any real property or to transfer any personal property, dies before making conveyance or transfer, and the decedent, if living, might have been compelled to make such conveyance or transfer, the court, in which proceedings are pending for the administration of the estate of the decedent, may make a decree authorizing and directing the executor or administrator to convey or transfer the property to the persons entitled thereto. Sec. 186. The executor or administrator, or any person claiming to be entitled to such conveyance or transfer, may file with the clerk of the court a verified petition setting forth the facts upon which the claim is predicated. |

forth the facts upon which the claim is predicated. Thereupon the clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court, and notice thereof shall be served on the executor or administrator personally, when he is not the petitioner, and shall be published for at least ten days before the hearing in a newspaper published in the county where the proceedings are pending, or, if there is no such newspaper, then in lieu of publication, three written or printed notices of the hearing shall be posted at three of the most public places in the county at least ten days before the hearing; but if such contract was recorded before the death of the person executing it, notice of the hearing may be given by serving such notice on the executor or administrator personally, when he is not the petitioner, and posting a copy of the notice at the courthouse of the county in which the proceedings are pending, for at least ten days prior to the hearing. Sec. 187. At the time appointed, the court, upon proof that due notice of the hearing has been given, shall proceed to hear the petition and any objection thereto that may have been filed or presented; and if the court is satisfied that the conveyance or transfer should be made it shall make an order authorizing and directing the executor or administrator to execute the same to the party entitled thereto. If the transaction relates to real property, a certified copy of the order must be recorded with the deed in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the land, or any portion thereof, lies. Sec. 188. The order shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the proceedings and of the authority of the executor or administrator to make the conveyance or transfer; and after its entry, the person entitled to the conveyance or transfer has a right to the possession of the property contracted for, and to hold the same according to the terms of the intended conveyance or transfer, in like manner as if the same had been conveyed or transferred in pursuance of the order. Nevertheless, the executor or administrator must execute the conveyance or transfer according to the directions of the order, and the court may enforce its execution by process. The conveyance or transfer shall pass title to the property contracted for, as fully as if the contracting party had executed it while living. Sec. 189. Whenever it shall appear to the advantage of the estate to exchange any property of the decedent for other property, the court may authorize such exchange, upon the petition of the executor or administrator or of any person interested in the estate, and after notice of the hearing given for the period and in the manner required by section 283 of this act. |

Sec. 190. No executor or administrator shall directly or indirectly purchase any property of the estate he represents. Sec. 191. The executor or administrator shall take into his possession all the estate of the deceased, real and personal, except that exempted as hereinbefore provided and shall collect all debts due the deceased or to the estate. For the purpose of bringing suits to quiet title or for partition of such estate, the possession of the executor or administrator shall be deemed the possession of the heirs or devisees. Such possession of heirs or devisees shall be subject, however, to the possession of the executor or administrator for all other purposes. Sec. 192. Actions for the recovery of any property, real or personal, or for the possession thereof, or to quiet title thereto, or to determine any adverse claim thereon, and all actions founded upon contracts, may be maintained by and against the executors and administrators in all cases in which the same might have been maintained by or against their respective testators or intestates; and all judgments quieting title to real property, entered prior to February 7, 1921, in actions instituted and maintained by executors or administrators, shall have the same force and effect after the lapse of ten years from the entry thereof, unless sooner set aside, as judgments entered in like actions instituted and maintained by the heirs of devisees of their respective testators or intestates. Sec. 193. Executors or administrators may maintain actions against any person or persons who shall have wasted, destroyed, taken, carried away or converted to his or their own use, the goods of the testator or intestate in his lifetime. They may also maintain actions for trespass committed on the real estate of the deceased while living. Sec. 194. Any person or his personal representatives shall have a right of action against the executor or administrator of any testator or intestate who, in his lifetime, shall have wasted, destroyed, taken, carried away or converted to his own use the goods or chattels of any such person, or committed any trespass on the real estate of such person. Sec. 195. When there was a partnership existing between the testator or intestate at the time of his death, and any other person, the surviving partner shall have the right to continue in possession of the effects of the partnership, and to settle its business, but the interest of the deceased shall be included in the inventory and appraised as other property. The surviving partner shall proceed to settle the affairs of the partnership without delay, and shall account to the executor or administrator, and pay over such balance as may be, from time to time, payable to him as the representative of his testator or intestate. |

as may be, from time to time, payable to him as the representative of his testator or intestate. Upon the application of the executor or administrator the court or judge may, whenever it may appear necessary, order the surviving partner to render an account, and in case of neglect or refusal may, after notice, compel it by attachment; and the executor or administrator may maintain against him any action which the deceased could have maintained. Upon any sale of a partnership interest the surviving partner may be a bidder. After notice to all persons interested in an estate, given in such manner as may be directed by the court or judge thereof, the court may authorize the executor or administrator to continue the operation of the decedents business to such an extent and subject to such restrictions as may seem to the court to be for the best interest of the estate and those interested therein. Sec. 196. Any executor or administrator may, in his own name, for the use and benefit of all parties interested in the estate maintain actions on the bond of any former executor or administrator of the same estate. Sec. 197. In actions brought by or against executors it shall not be necessary to join those as parties who have not qualified. Sec. 198. If a debtor of the decedent is unable to pay all his debts the executor or administrator, with the approval of the court, may give him a discharge upon such terms as may appear to the court to be for the best interest of the estate. A compromise may also be authorized by the court when it appears to be just and for the best interest of the estate. The court may also authorize the executor or administrator, on such terms and conditions as may be approved by it, to extend or renew, or in any manner modify the terms of, any obligation owing to or running in favor of the decedent or his estate. To obtain such approval or authorization the executor or administrator shall file a verified petition with the clerk showing the advantage of the settlement, compromise, extension, renewal or modification. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing by the court, and notice thereof shall be given for the period and in the manner required by section 283 of this act. Sec. 199. When there shall be a deficiency of assets in the hands of an executor or administrator, and when the deceased, in his lifetime, shall have conveyed any real estate or any rights or interests therein, with intent to defraud his creditors or to avoid any obligation, debt or duty owed another, or shall have so conveyed such estate that by law the deeds of conveyances are void as against creditors, or make a gift of property in view of death, the executor or administrator may, and it shall be his duty, to commence and prosecute to final judgment any proper action for the recovery of the same for the benefit of the creditors, and may also, for such benefit, sue for and recover all goods, chattels, rights or credits, or their value, which may have been so fraudulently conveyed by the deceased in his lifetime, whatever may have been the manner of such fraudulent conveyance. |

administrator may, and it shall be his duty, to commence and prosecute to final judgment any proper action for the recovery of the same for the benefit of the creditors, and may also, for such benefit, sue for and recover all goods, chattels, rights or credits, or their value, which may have been so fraudulently conveyed by the deceased in his lifetime, whatever may have been the manner of such fraudulent conveyance. Sec. 200. No executor or administrator shall be bound to sue for such estate, as mentioned in the preceding section, for the benefit of the creditors, unless upon application of creditor or creditors of the deceased, nor unless such creditor or creditors shall pay the costs and expense of such litigation or give such security therefor as the court or judge shall direct. Sec. 201. All real estate so recovered shall be sold for the payment of debts in the same manner as hereinbefore prescribed for sales of real estate by executors or administrators, and the proceeds of all goods, chattels, rights or credits so received shall be applied in payment of debts in the same manner as other personal property in the hands of the executor or administrator. Sec. 202. No executor or administrator shall be chargeable upon any special promise to answer damages or to pay the debts of the deceased out of his own estate, unless the agreement for that purpose, or some memorandum or note thereof, is in writing and signed by such executor or administrator, or by some other person by him thereunto specially authorized. Sec. 203. Every executor and administrator shall be chargeable in his own account with the whole of the estate of the deceased which should come to his possession at the value of the appraisement contained in the inventory, except as hereinafter provided, and with all the interest, profit and income of the estate. Sec. 204. He shall not make profit by the increase nor suffer loss by the decrease or destruction of any part of the estate without his fault. He shall account for the excess when he shall sell any part of the estate for more than the appraisement, and, if any be sold for less than the appraisement, he shall not be responsible for the loss, if the sale has been made according to law. Sec. 205. No executor or administrator shall be accountable for any debts due the deceased that remain uncollected without his fault. Sec. 206. He shall be allowed all necessary expenses in the care and management, as well as settlement, of the estate, and for his services such fees as provided by law; but when the deceased shall, by his will, make some other provision for the compensation of his executor, this shall be deemed a full compensation for such services, unless the executor files a renunciation, in writing, of all claim for the compensation provided by the will. |

Sec. 207. When no compensation shall have been provided by the will, or the executor shall renounce all claims thereto, he shall be allowed commissions upon the whole amount of the personal estate accounted for by him, as follows: For the first thousand dollars, at the rate of six percent; and for the next four thousand dollars, at the rate of four percent; for all above five thousand dollars, at the rate of two percent, and the same commissions shall be allowed to administrators. If there are two or more executors or administrators, the compensation shall be apportioned among them by the court according to the services actually rendered by each. In all cases additional allowance may be made by the court for services in regard to the real estate when it shall be made to appear that the same is just and reasonable. Sec. 208. Such further allowances may be made as the court may deem just and reasonable for any extraordinary services, such as sales or mortgages of real or personal property, contested or litigated claims against the estate, the adjustment and payments of extensive or complicated estate taxes, litigation in regard to the property of the estate, the carrying on of the decedents business pursuant to an order of the court, and such other litigation or special services as may be necessary for the executor or administrator to prosecute, defend, or perform. Sec. 209. All contracts between an executor or administrator and an heir, devisee, or legatee for a higher compensation than that allowed by the foregoing two sections shall be void. Sec. 210. Any executor or administrator, at any time after the issuance of letters testamentary or of administration, and upon such notice to the persons interested in the estate as the court or a judge thereof shall require, may apply to the court for an allowance upon his commissions; and, on the hearing, the court shall make an order allowing him such portion of his commission, for services rendered up to that time, as the court shall deem proper, and the portion so allowed may be thereupon charged against the estate. Sec. 211. Any attorney who has rendered services to an executor or administrator at any time after the issuance of letters testamentary or of administration, and upon such notice to the executor or administrator and to the persons interested in the estate as the court or a judge thereof shall require, may apply to the court for an allowance upon his fees; and on the hearing, the court shall make an order requiring the executor or administrator to pay such attorney out of the estate such compensation, on account of the services rendered up to that time, as the court shall deem proper, and such payment shall be made forthwith. |

fees; and on the hearing, the court shall make an order requiring the executor or administrator to pay such attorney out of the estate such compensation, on account of the services rendered up to that time, as the court shall deem proper, and such payment shall be made forthwith. Sec. 212. Within thirty days after the judge has acted upon the claims filed against the estate the executor or administrator shall file his first account, under oath, of his administration. Such account shall be itemized, showing the amount of money received and expended by him; the amount of all claims filed against the estate; the names of all claimants; the claims, if any, rejected, and all other matters necessary to show the condition of the affairs of the estate. Sec. 213. Whenever required by the court or a judge thereof, either upon its or his own motion, or upon the application of any person interested in the estate, the executor or administrator must render and file with the clerk a verified account, showing the amount of money received and expended by him, the claims filed or presented against the estate, giving the name of each claimant, the nature of his claim, when it became due or will become due, whether it was allowed or rejected by him, or not yet acted upon, and all other matters necessary to show the condition of the estate. If he neglects or refuses to appear and render such account after having been duly cited, an attachment may be issued against him and such accounting compelled, or his letters may be revoked, or both, in the discretion of the court or judge. Sec. 214. If the executor or administrator fail to render and file his first account within the time specified in section 212, above, it shall be the duty of the court or judge to order a citation to issue, requiring him to file such account by a time to be stated in said citation, as fixed by the court or judge, or appear and show cause why he should not be compelled to file said account. If he fail to file said account by the time stated, or show cause why he should not, the court, by attachment or other proper process, may compel him to file such an account or may revoke his letters, in the discretion of the court, or both, and like action may be had in reference to any subsequent account he may be ordered to file. Sec. 215. When an account is rendered for settlement the clerk shall set the same for settlement by the court, and give notice thereof for the period and in the manner required by section 283 of this act. If the account is for a final settlement, and a petition for the final distribution of the estate is filed with the account, the notice of settlement must so state, and on the settlement of the account, distribution of the estate to those entitled thereto may be had immediately, but notice of the hearing of the petition for distribution must also be given as provided in section 243 of this act. |

the estate to those entitled thereto may be had immediately, but notice of the hearing of the petition for distribution must also be given as provided in section 243 of this act. Sec. 216. Any person interested in the estate may appear and file written exceptions to the account and contest the same. Upon the hearing, the executor or administrator may be examined on oath touching the account and the property and effects of the decedent and the disposition thereof. All matters, including allowed claims, not passed upon on the settlement of any former account and not reduced to judgment, may be contested for cause shown. Sec. 217. In rendering his account, the executor or administrator shall produce vouchers for all payments he may have made, which vouchers shall be filed and remain in court, and he may be examined on oath touching such payments, and also touching any property and effects of the deceased, and the disposition thereof. When any such voucher shall be required for other purposes, it may be withdrawn on leaving a certified copy on file. If any vouchers be lost, or for other good reason cannot be produced on settlement of an account, the payment may be proved by the oath of one competent witness. If it is proven that vouchers for any disbursements have been lost or destroyed, that it is impossible to obtain duplicates, and that the items were paid in good faith and were legal charges against the estate, the executor or administrator shall be allowed such items. He may be allowed any item of expenditure not exceeding twenty dollars, for which no voucher is produced, if it is supported by his uncontradicted oath positive to the fact of payment, specifying when, where, and to whom it was made; but the total amount of such allowances in all his accounts must not exceed five hundred dollars. Sec. 218. If there be a minor interested in the estate who has no legally appointed guardian, the court may appoint some disinterested attorney to represent him, who, on behalf of the minor, may contest the account as any other person having an interest might contest it. The court may also appoint an attorney to represent absent heirs and devisees and legatees. All matters, including allowed claims not passed upon on the settlement of any former account, or on making a decree of sale, may be contested by interested parties for cause shown. Sec. 219. The order settling and allowing the account, when it becomes final, is conclusive against all persons interested in the estate, saving, however, to persons under legal disability, the right to move for cause to reopen and examine the account, or to proceed by action against the executor or administrator or his sureties at any time before final distribution; and in any such action such order is prima facie evidence of the correctness of the account. |

distribution; and in any such action such order is prima facie evidence of the correctness of the account. Sec. 220. No account shall be allowed by the court until it be first proved that the notice, hereinbefore required, has been given, and the order or decree shall show that such proof was made to the satisfaction of the court and shall be conclusive evidence of the fact. Sec. 221. Whenever the authority of an executor or administrator shall cease or shall be revoked for any reason, he may be cited by the court to account, at the instance of the person succeeding to the administration of the same estate, in like manner as he might have been by any person interested in the estate during the time he was executor or administrator. Sec. 222. If the executor or administrator absconds or conceals himself, or if, after reasonable diligence, he cannot be found, so that a citation cannot be personally served, and shall neglect to file an account within twenty days after the time fixed for that purpose, his letters shall be revoked. Sec. 223. The debts of the estate shall be paid in the following order: First-Funeral expenses. Second-The expenses of the last sickness. Third-Family allowance. Fourth-Debts having preference by laws of the United States. Fifth-Wages to the extent of two hundred dollars, of each employee of the decedent, for work done or personal services rendered within ninety days prior to the death of the employer; if there is not sufficient money with which to pay all such labor claims in full, the money available must be distributed among the claimants in accordance with the amounts of their respective claims. Sixth-Judgments rendered against the deceased in his lifetime, and mortgages in order of their date. Seventh-All other demands against the estate. Sec. 224. The preference given in the preceding section to a mortgage shall only extend to the proceeds of the property mortgaged. If the proceeds of such property be insufficient to pay the mortgage, the part remaining unsatisfied shall be classed with other demands against the estate. Sec. 225. Upon the settlement of any account of the executor or administrator, after the time to file or present claims has expired, the court shall order the payment of the debts as the circumstances of the estate permit. If there are not sufficient funds to pay all of the debts the order shall specify the sum to be paid to each creditor. No creditor of any one class shall receive any payment until all those of a preferred class are fully paid; and if the estate is insufficient to pay all debts of any one class, each creditor of that class must be paid a dividend in proportion to his claim. If the property of the estate is exhausted by the payment ordered, such account shall constitute a final account, and the executor or administrator shall be entitled to his discharge on producing and filing the necessary vouchers and proof showing that he has complied with the order. |

account shall constitute a final account, and the executor or administrator shall be entitled to his discharge on producing and filing the necessary vouchers and proof showing that he has complied with the order. Sec. 226. It shall be the duty of the executor or administrator, as soon as he has sufficient funds in his hands, to pay the funeral expenses, the expenses of the last sickness, the allowance made to the family of the deceased, and wage claims to the extent of two hundred dollars of each employee of decedent for work done or personal services rendered within ninety days prior to the death of the employer, but he may retain in his hands the necessary expenses of administration. He shall not be obliged to pay any other debt or any legacy until the payment shall have been ordered by the court. Sec. 227. If there is any claim not due, or any contingent or disputed claims against the estate, the amount thereof, or such part of the same as the holder would be entitled to if the claim were due, established or absolute, must be paid into court, and there remain, to be paid over to the party when he becomes entitled thereto; or, if he fails to establish his claim, to be paid over or distributed as the circumstances of the estate require. If a creditor, whose claim has been allowed but is not yet due, appears and assents to a deduction therefrom of the legal interest for the time the claim has yet to run, he is entitled to be paid accordingly. The payments provided for in this section are not to be made when the estate is insolvent unless a pro rata distribution is ordered. Sec. 228. Whenever an order shall be made by the court for the payment of creditors the executor or administrator shall be personally liable to each creditor for the amount of this claim, or the dividends thereon, and execution may be issued upon such order as upon a judgment in any other action, in favor of each creditor, and the same proceedings may be had under such execution as if it had been issued upon a judgment. The executor or administrator shall also be liable on his bond to each creditor. Sec. 229. When the accounts of the executor or administrator have been settled, and an order made for the payment of debts and distribution of the estate, no creditor whose claim was not included in the order for payment has any right to call upon the creditors who have been paid, nor upon the heirs, devisees or legatees, to contribute to the payment of his claim; but if the executor or administrator has failed to give the notice to creditors, as prescribed by law, such creditor may recover on the bond of the executor or administrator the amount for which his claim would properly have been allowed. Sec. 230. When the whole of the debts and liabilities of an estate have been paid, the court shall proceed to direct the payment of legacies and the distribution of the estate among those entitled, as hereinafter provided; provided, the estate is in condition to be closed; if not, then at such time as it thereafter may be in condition. |

an estate have been paid, the court shall proceed to direct the payment of legacies and the distribution of the estate among those entitled, as hereinafter provided; provided, the estate is in condition to be closed; if not, then at such time as it thereafter may be in condition. Sec. 231. Whenever all the property of an estate shall have been sold or there shall be sufficient funds in his hands for the payment of all debts due by the estate, and the estate be in a proper condition to be closed, the executor or administrator shall render and file his final account and pray for a settlement of his administration. Sec. 232. If he neglects to render and file his final account the same proceedings may be had as prescribed in this act in regard to the first account to be filed by him, and all the provisions relative to said first account, and the notice and settlement thereof shall apply to his account for final settlement. Sec. 233. Where the accounts of an executor or administrator have been settled and a decree for the distribution of the estate made by the court, the executor or administrator shall, without any unnecessary delay, distribute the estate remaining in his hands as by the decree directed. The executor or administrator shall, within ten days after the entry of decree of distribution conveying any real estate, file with the county recorder of the county in which such decree was entered a certified copy of such decree. Sec. 234. At the time any account comes before the court for allowance, if there are no exceptions filed by any person interested in the estate, and the account is made to appear to the court to be correct and according to law, the court may allow and confirm the account. Sec. 235. At any time after the lapse of three months after the issuing of letters testamentary or of administration, any heir, devisee or legatee, or his assignee, may present his petition to the court, praying that the legacy or share of the estate, to which he or she is entitled, may be given to him or her upon giving bond, with approved security, for the payment of his or her proportion of the debts of the estate. The court may dispense with a bond if it be made to appear that the same is unnecessary. Sec. 236. Notice of the application shall be given to the executor or administrator personally, and to all persons interested in the estate, in the same manner that notice is required to be given by section 283, or as the court may direct. Sec. 237. The executor or administrator, or any person interested in the estate, may appear and resist the application, or any other heir, devisee or legatee may make a similar application for himself or herself. Sec. 238. If, on the hearing, it appears that the estate is but little indebted and that the share or shares of the party or parties petitioning may be allowed, without injury to the creditors of the estate, the court shall make a decree in conformity to the prayer of the applicant or applicants; provided, that each one of them shall first execute and deliver to the executor or administrator a bond in such sum as shall be designated by the court or judge, and with sureties to be approved by the judge. |

but little indebted and that the share or shares of the party or parties petitioning may be allowed, without injury to the creditors of the estate, the court shall make a decree in conformity to the prayer of the applicant or applicants; provided, that each one of them shall first execute and deliver to the executor or administrator a bond in such sum as shall be designated by the court or judge, and with sureties to be approved by the judge. Such bond shall be made payable to the executor or administrator and conditioned for the payment by the heir, devisee or legatee, whenever required, of his or her proportion of the debts of the estate. The court may dispense with a bond if it be made to appear that the same is unnecessary. Sec. 239. Such decree may direct the executor or administrator to deliver to the petitioner or petitioners the whole portion of the estate to which he, she, or they may be entitled, or a part only thereof. Sec. 240. If, in the execution of such decree, any partition be necessary between two or more of the parties, it shall be made in the manner hereinafter prescribed. Sec. 241. The costs of such proceedings shall be paid by the applicant, or if there be more than one, shall be apportioned equally among them. Sec. 242. Whenever any bond has been executed and delivered as above prescribed, and the executor or administrator shall ascertain that it is necessary for the settlement of the estate to require the payment of any part of the money thereby secured, he shall petition the court for an order requiring the payment and cause a citation to be issued and served upon the party bound, requiring him or her, at a time and place, not more than ten days after the date of the citation, to be stated therein, to appear and show cause why the order shall not be made. At the hearing, the court, if satisfied of the necessity for such payment to be made, shall make an order accordingly, designating the amount and giving a time in which it shall be paid. If the money be not paid within the time allowed, an action may be maintained by the executor or administrator on the bond. Similar proceedings may be had against a distributee when no bond is given. Sec. 243. When an executor or administrator files his final account, with a petition praying for the allowance and confirmation thereof, he may also include in such petition a prayer for the distribution of the estate, and, upon the settlement and allowance of the final account, the court may also decree a distribution of the residue of the estate, if any, among the persons who are by law entitled. If a final account be settled and allowed without a decree of distribution, the executor or administrator, or any heir, devisee or legatee, or assignee or grantee of any heir, devisee or legatee, at any time thereafter, may petition the court for a decree distributing the estate. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 217 (CHAPTER 107, AB 5)κ
|
legatee, or assignee or grantee of any heir, devisee or legatee, at any time thereafter, may petition the court for a decree distributing the estate. A statement of the receipts and disbursements of the executor or administrator, since the rendition of his final account, shall be reported and filed before or at the time of making such distribution, unless distribution of real estate only be made, and a settlement thereof, together with an estimate of the expense of closing the estate, shall be made by the court, and shall be included in the decree, or the court or judge may order notice of the settlement of such supplementary account. When a petition for distribution shall be filed, notice of the hearing of said petition shall be personally served at the time of the filing of the final account or subsequently thereto, on all personally interested in the estate, at least five days before the time specified in the notice, or shall be given by publication for at least once a week for three successive weeks in such newspaper as the court or judge shall order, and the court may order such further notice as it may deem proper. Sec. 244. In the decree, the court shall name the persons and the proportion or parts to which each shall be entitled, and such person shall have the right to demand and recover his or her respective share from the executor or administrator, or any other person having the same in possession. Where any trust, life estate or estate for years has been created by or under any will to continue after distribution the district court shall not lose jurisdiction of the estate by final distribution, but shall retain jurisdiction thereof for the purpose of the settlement of accounts under the trusts, life tenancies or estate for years, and the distribution of the residue to those entitled thereto, which distribution may be upon petition of the trustees, or of his executors or administrators, or of any party entitled to share in the distribution. And any trustee created by any will, or appointed to execute any trust created by any will, may, from time to time, pending the execution of his trust, or may, at the termination thereof, render and pray for the settlement of his accounts as such trustee before the district court in which the will was probated, and in the manner provided for the settlement of the accounts of executors and administrators. The trustee, or in case of his death, his legal representatives, shall, for that purpose, present to the court his verified petition, setting forth his accounts in detail, with a report showing the condition of the trust estate, together with a verified statement of said trustee, giving the names and post-office addresses, if known, of the beneficiaries, and upon the filing thereof the clerk shall fix a day for the hearing and give notice thereof of not less than ten days, by causing notice to be posted in at least three public places in the county, setting forth the name of the trust estate, the trustee, and the day appointed for the settlement of the account. |

setting forth the name of the trust estate, the trustee, and the day appointed for the settlement of the account. The court, or a judge thereof, may order such further notice to be given as may be proper. Such trustee may, in the discretion of the court, upon application of any beneficiary of the trust or the guardian of such beneficiary, be ordered to appear and render his account, after being cited by service of citation, as provided for the service of summons in civil cases, and such application shall not be denied where no account has been rendered to the court within six months prior to such application. Upon the filing of the account so ordered the same proceedings for the hearing and settlement thereof shall be had as hereinbefore provided in the case of settlement of accounts of administrators and executors. Sec. 245. Wherever by law, or by the terms creating a life estate, or an estate for years, the tenant is required to account for his use of the property of which he is tenant, then the foregoing provisions concerning accounting by a trustee shall apply to the life tenant for years, and, after his death, to his executor and administrators, and where no obligation to account during his tenancy is imposed upon such tenant, nevertheless such of the foregoing provisions as apply to accounting by the executors and administrators of a trustee shall apply to the executors and administrators of such tenant, to the extent of determining the residue of the estate. Whenever a distribution of the residue of the trust estate, estate for life or estate for years to those entitled thereto shall be petitioned for, notice of the hearing of such petition shall be given for the time and in the manner provided in section 243 of this act upon petitions for distribution. Sec. 246. On the settlement of each account of a trustee the court shall allow the trustee his proper expenses and such compensation for services as the court may deem just and reasonable. Where there are several trustees it shall apportion the compensation among them according to the respective services rendered. It may, in its discretion, fix a yearly compensation for the trustee or trustees, to continue as long as the court may deem proper. Sec. 247. A decree rendered under the provisions of this act, when it becomes final, shall be conclusive upon all persons in interest, whether or not they are in being. Sec. 248. Any person named or designated as a trustee in a will, may, at any time before distribution of any of the estate to him, decline to act as such trustee, and an order of court shall thereupon be made accepting such resignation; but the declination of any such person who has qualified as trustee shall not be accepted by the court unless the same shall be in writing and filed in the matter of the estate in the court in which the administration is pending, and such notice shall be given thereof, as is required upon a petition for letters of administration. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 219 (CHAPTER 107, AB 5)κ
|
trustee shall not be accepted by the court unless the same shall be in writing and filed in the matter of the estate in the court in which the administration is pending, and such notice shall be given thereof, as is required upon a petition for letters of administration. In accepting a declination the court may make and enforce any order which may be necessary for the preservation of the estate. Sec. 249. The court in which the administration is pending shall have power, at any time before final distribution, to appoint some fit and proper person to fill any vacancy in the office of trustee under the will, whether resulting from such declination, removal, or otherwise, if such appointment is necessary to carry out the trust. Such appointment may be made by the court upon the written application of any person interested in the trust, filed in the probate proceedings, and shall be made only after notice to all parties interested in the trust given as required upon a petition for the probate of a will. Sec. 250. If a trustee of a testamentary trust dies, resigns, or is removed after distribution, and a vacancy in the trusteeship is created thereby, and no method of filling said vacancy is provided for in the will, the court which had jurisdiction over the settlement of his accounts shall have the power to appoint a new trustee to fill the vacancy, upon the petition of anyone interested in the trust estate, and notice given for the period and in the manner required upon petition for the probate of a will. The court shall have power to appoint a temporary trustee without notice in order to preserve the trust estate when necessary. Sec. 251. The court may in its discretion require the person appointed under section 249 or section 250 of this act, before acting as a trustee, to give a bond as is required of a person appointed administrator. If bond be required the trustee shall be allowed the cost of such bond. Sec. 252. When two or more heirs, devisees or legatees are entitled to the distribution of undivided interests in any real or personal property of the decedent, and they have not agreed among themselves, before distribution, to a partition, allotment or other division thereof, any one or more of them, or the executor or administrator, at the request of any one or more of them, may petition the court to make such partition, allotment or division of the property as will be equitable and will avoid the distribution of undivided interests. Sec. 253. To secure such partition any person interested may file a petition stating the necessary facts, particularly describing the property to be partitioned and the party or parties interested in such property. Upon filing such petition, a citation shall issue to all persons interested who shall reside in this state, or their guardians, and to agents, attorneys or guardians, if there be any in this state, or such as reside out of this state, to appear and show cause why a decree of partition should not be made as prayed for. |

reside in this state, or their guardians, and to agents, attorneys or guardians, if there be any in this state, or such as reside out of this state, to appear and show cause why a decree of partition should not be made as prayed for. The citation shall specify the estate and the party petitioning for partition, also the time and place for hearing the petition, not more than twenty days from its date, and must be served five days before the hearing at the time specified in the citation, or at such further time as the court may continue the hearing. Upon proof, to the satisfaction of the court, that the citation has been properly served as above required, the court shall proceed to hear the petition and the allegation and proofs of the respective parties, and decree accordingly. Sec. 254. When the property to be partitioned is entirely personal property the court or judge shall appoint three competent, disinterested persons as commissioners for that purpose, who shall be duly sworn by any officer authorized to administer oaths to faithfully and impartially discharge their duties. A certified copy of the order appointing them, attached to a certified copy of the decree fixing the shares to which the respective parties are entitled shall be given to them as their warrant, and their oath must be endorsed thereon. When the property to be divided is real estate, or partly real and partly personal, one of the three commissioners shall be a practical surveyor. Upon consent of the parties, and when the court shall deem it proper and just, the court may appoint one commissioner only, who shall have the same authority and be governed by the same rules as if three were appointed. Sec. 255. If the real estate to be partitioned shall be in different counties, the court or judge, if deemed proper, may appoint commissioners for each county, and, in such case, the estate in each county shall be divided separately, as if there were no other estate to be partitioned; but the commissioners first appointed shall, unless otherwise directed by the court, make division of the real estate wherever situated in this state. Sec. 256. Partition may be made as provided herein, although some of the original heirs, devisees or legatees may have assigned or conveyed their share to other persons, and such shares shall be partitioned to the person holding the same in the same manner as they would have been to the heirs, devisees or legatees had they not transferred their shares. Sec. 257. The several shares in the real and personal estate shall be set out to each individual in proportion to his or her right, and the real estate by metes, bounds, or such description that the same can be easily distinguished. If two or more of the parties request to have their shares set out so as to be held in common and undivided, such shares may be so partitioned. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 221 (CHAPTER 107, AB 5)κ
|
set out so as to be held in common and undivided, such shares may be so partitioned. Sec. 258. The expenses of such partition shall be equitably apportioned by the court among the parties, but each party must pay his own attorneys fees. Sec. 259. The allotment made by the court shall control upon proceedings for distribution, unless modified for good cause upon reasonable notice, and the proceedings leading to such allotment may be reviewed upon appeal from the decree of distribution. Sec. 260. When any such real estate cannot be divided without prejudice or inconvenience to the owners, the court may assign the whole to one or more of the parties entitled to shares therein, who will accept and pay to the other parties interested their just proportion of the true value thereof, or secure the same to their satisfaction, or, in case of the minority of such party or parties, to the satisfaction of the guardian of such minor or minors, and the true value of the estate shall be ascertained and reported by the commissioners or appraisers appointed specially for that purpose. Sec. 261. When any tract of land or tenement shall be of greater value than either partys share in the estate to be divided, and cannot be divided without injury to the same, it may be set off by the commissioners to any one of the parties, who will accept it and pay, or secure to be paid, to one or more of the others interested, such sum or sums as the commissioners shall award to make the partition equal, and the commissioners shall make their award accordingly; but such partition shall not be established by the court until the sums so awarded shall be paid to the parties entitled to the same, or secured to their satisfaction. Sec. 262. When it cannot otherwise be fairly divided, the whole or any part of the estate, real or personal, may be recommended by the commissioners to be sold, and if the report be confirmed the court may order a sale by the executor or administrator or by a commissioner appointed for that purpose, and distribute the proceeds. The sale shall be conducted, reported upon and confirmed in the same manner and under the same rules as in ordinary cases of sales of land by an executor or administrator under this act. Sec. 263. When partition of real estate among heirs, devisees, or legatees shall be required, and such real estate shall be in common and undivided with the real estate of any other person, the commissioner shall first divide and sever the estate of the deceased from the estate in which it lies in common, and such division, so made and established by the court, shall be binding upon all the persons interested. The court may authorize the executor or administrator to bring suit for such partition when deemed necessary. Sec. 264. In making partition the commissioners shall always have regard to quantity and quality, and may set off quantity against quality, or quality against quantity, so that when the partition is made all the shares partitioned shall be of equal value as near as possible. |

Before any partition shall be made, as provided herein, guardians shall be appointed for all minor and insane persons interested in the estate to be divided, and an attorney shall be appointed for all nonresident or absent heirs or other persons interested. The commissioners shall notify all persons interested in the partition, their guardians, agents or attorneys, of the time when they will proceed to make partition, which time shall be as reasonable after their appointment as circumstances will admit, or the court, in the order of appointment, may fix the time. The commissioners may take testimony, for which purpose any one of them may administer an oath, and they make take all necessary steps to enable them to form a correct judgment upon the matters before them. Sec. 266. The commissioners, within a reasonable time after they have finished their work, shall make a report of their proceedings and of the partition made by them, and file the same with the clerk of the court. Within fifteen days after the report is filed any person interested may file exceptions to the report, particularly specifying the grounds of objection. A copy of such exceptions shall be served upon the commissioners and all parties interested in the partition, their guardians, agents or attorneys in the county, with a notice to such persons that the excepting party will, at a certain time to be mentioned, not later than twenty days after the filing of said exceptions, move the court to set aside the report, and for a new partition. At the time specified, or at such other time as the court may sit, the court shall proceed to hear the report and exceptions, and may hear proof by any party, and, for sufficient reasons, the court may set aside the report and recommit the partition to the same commissioners, or appoint others, or may modify or confirm the report. If no exceptions shall be filed to the report within the time above specified, the court, on the expiration of said fifteen days, or at any time thereafter, if the report appears to be just and correct and all the proceedings regular, shall confirm the report, and when such report shall be finally confirmed the decree of confirmation and the report shall be recorded by the clerk, and the court shall order proper conveyance to be made by the respective parties to one another, or may, if for any reason necessary, appoint a commissioner to make such conveyance or conveyances, which, when acknowledged and recorded, shall effectually pass the title. Sec. 267. All questions as to advancement made or alleged to have been made by the deceased to any heirs may be heard and determined by the court, and shall be specified in the decree distributing the estate, and in the warrant to the commissioners, and the final decree of the court shall be binding on all parties interested in the estate, with right, however, of any party to appeal from a final decree of the court to the supreme court. |

to have been made by the deceased to any heirs may be heard and determined by the court, and shall be specified in the decree distributing the estate, and in the warrant to the commissioners, and the final decree of the court shall be binding on all parties interested in the estate, with right, however, of any party to appeal from a final decree of the court to the supreme court. Sec. 268. When property is assigned or distributed to a person who cannot be found or who refuses to accept the same or to give a proper voucher therefor, or to a minor or incompetent person who has no legal guardian to receive the same, or person authorized to receipt therefor, and the same or any part thereof consists of money, the executor or administrator may deposit the money in the name of the assignee or distributee, with the county treasurer of the county in which the proceedings are pending, who shall give a receipt for the same, and be liable upon his official bond therefor; and said receipt shall be deemed and received by the court, or judge thereof, as a voucher in favor of the executor or administrator with the same force and effect as if executed by such assignee or distributee. Sec. 269. If the assignee or distributee is a nonresident minor or insane or incompetent person, who has a guardian of his estate legally appointed under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, the distribution of such assignees or distributees share may be made to such legally appointed guardian, whose receipt therefor, together with a certificate of his appointment issued under seal of the court by the clerk of the court appointing him, when filed with the clerk of the court in which such assignment or distribution was ordered, shall be deemed and received by the court, or a judge thereof, as a complete receipt and voucher in favor of such executor or administrator. Sec. 270. When personal property remains in the hands of the executor or administrator unclaimed for a year, or when the distributee refuses to accept or give a proper receipt for the property, or is a minor or incompetent person and has no legally qualified guardian of his estate, and it appears to the court that it is for the benefit of those interested, or if the executor or administrator desires his discharge and it appears to the court that no injury will result to those interested, the court shall order the property to be sold. The proceeds, after deducting such expenses of sales as may be allowed by the court, must be paid into the county treasury. The depositor must take from the treasurer duplicate receipts, one of which he must file in the office of the auditor, and the other with the court. Sec. 271. Until the property is delivered or thus disposed of, the executor or administrator must render to the court, annually, an account showing what income he has received, what property he has sold and at what price, and the character and value of the property remaining in his hands. |

annually, an account showing what income he has received, what property he has sold and at what price, and the character and value of the property remaining in his hands. Sec. 272. When any person appears and claims the money paid into the treasury, the court making the distribution must inquire into such claim, and, if satisfied of his right thereto, must grant him a certificate to that effect, under its seal; and upon presentation of the certificate, the auditor must draw his warrant on the treasurer for the amount. Sec. 273. Where a specific legacy is for life only, the life tenant must sign and deliver to the remainderman, or, if there be none, to the personal representative, an inventory of the property, expressing that the same is in his custody for life only, and that, on his decease, it is to be delivered to the remainderman. Sec. 274. When the estate has been fully administered, and it is shown by the executor or administrator, by the production of satisfactory vouchers, that he has paid all sums of money due from him, and delivered up, on the order of court, all the property of the estate to the parties entitled, and has performed all acts lawfully required of him, the court shall make a decree discharging him and his sureties from all liability thereafter to be incurred. Sec. 275. The final settlement of an estate shall not prevent a subsequent issuance of letters testamentary or of administration should other property of the estate be discovered, or should it become necessary or proper, from any cause, that letters should again be issued. Sec. 276. Whenever a district judge has reason to believe, from his own knowledge or from credible information, that any executor or administrator has wasted, converted to his own use, or mismanaged, or is about to waste or convert to his own use, the property of the estate committed to his charge, or has committed or is about to commit any wrong or fraud upon the estate, or has become incompetent to act, or has permanently removed from the state, or has wrongfully neglected the estate, or has unreasonably delayed the performance of necessary acts in any particular as such executor or administrator, it shall be his duty, by an order entered upon the minutes of the court, to suspend the powers of such executor or administrator until the matter can be investigated. Sec. 277. During the suspension of the powers of an executor or an administrator, as provided in the preceding section, the district court, or judge, if the condition of the estate requires it, may appoint a special administrator to take charge of the effects of the estate, who shall give bond and account as other special administrators are required to do. |

Sec. 278. When such suspension has been made the clerk shall issue a citation, reciting the order of suspension, to the executor or administrator to appear before the court at a time therein to be stated, as fixed by the court or judge, to show cause why his letters should not be revoked, said citation to be served by the sheriff, or other person, as provided in the civil practice act for service of process. If he fails to appear in obedience to the citation, or, appearing, the court shall be satisfied that there exist good grounds for his removal, his letters shall be revoked, and letters of administration granted anew, as the case may require. Sec. 279. Any person interested may appear at the hearing and file allegations in writing, showing that the executor or administrator should be removed. Such allegations shall be heard and determined by the court. Sec. 280. If the executor or administrator has absconded or concealed himself or has removed or absented himself from the state, citation may be served by leaving a copy with his attorney of record, if he is available, or in such manner as the court may direct, and the court shall have jurisdiction to proceed as if the citation had been personally served. Sec. 281. In such proceedings for the removal of an executor or administrator, the court may compel his attendance by attachment or other proper process, and may require him to answer questions, on oath, touching his administration, and upon his refusal so to do may commit him to jail until he obey, or may revoke his letters, or both. Sec. 282. The clerk shall enter a minute of all proceedings in matters of estates, as in other actions. When publication is required, such publication shall be made daily, or otherwise, as often during the prescribed period as the paper is regularly issued, unless otherwise provided in this act. The court or judge, however, may prescribe a less number of publications during the period for publication, and the court or judge may, for good cause shown, extend or shorten any of the times prescribed in this act. Sec. 283. Upon the filing of a petition relating to the family allowance filed after the return of the inventory, or of a petition for leave to settle or compromise a claim against a debtor of the decedent, or a claim against the estate, or a suit against the executor or administrator as such, or of a petition for the sale of stocks or bonds, or of a petition for confirmation of a sale, or of a petition for leave to sell or give an option to purchase a mining claim or real property worked as a mine, or of a petition for leave to execute a promissory note or mortgage or deed of trust or give other security, or of a petition for leave to lease or to exchange property, or to institute an action for partition of property, or of a petition for an order authorizing or directing the investment of money, or of a report of appraisers concerning a homestead, or of an account of an executor or administrator or trustee, or a petition for partial or ratable or final distribution, or of a petition for the delivery of the estate of a nonresident, or of a petition for determination of heirship or interest in an estate, or of a petition of a trustee for instructions, or of a petition for the appointment of a trustee after distribution, and in all cases in which notice is required and no other time or method is prescribed by law or by the court or judge, the clerk shall set the same for hearing by the court and shall give notice of the petition or application or report or account by causing a notice to be posted at the courthouse of the county where the proceedings are pending, at least ten days before the day of hearing, giving the name of the estate, the name of the petitioner and the nature of the application, referring to the petition for further particulars, and notifying all persons interested to appear at the time and place mentioned in the notice and show cause, if any they have, why the order should not be made. |

In the case of a petition for leave to sell or give an option to purchase a mining claim or real property worked as a mine, or for leave to borrow money or execute a mortgage, deed of trust or give other security, or for leave to execute a lease, or sublease, in addition to the notice required by section 283 of this act, the clerk shall cause such notice of the application to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the estate is being probated. If the notice is published in a weekly newspaper, it must appear therein on at least two different days of publication, and the first publication must be at least ten days before the hearing; if in a newspaper published oftener, the notice shall be published twice, that is in two issues of the newspaper, but there shall be at least ten days from the first to the last day of publication, both days included. |

Sec. 285. Whenever personal notice is required by this act to be given to any party in the matter of an estate, and no other mode of giving notice is prescribed, it shall be given by citation, which shall be issued by the clerk, under the seal of the court, and directed to the person to be served, and commanding such person to appear before the court or judge, as the case may be, at a time and place to be named in the citation; also, the nature or character of the proceedings shall be briefly stated in the body thereof. Sec. 286. The citation described in the above section is to be served in the same manner as the personal service of summons. If personal service cannot be made upon the person to be served, the citation may be served by leaving a copy with his attorney of record or in such other manner as the court may direct. Sec. 287. All proofs of publication or other mode or modes of giving notice or serving papers may be made by the affidavit of any person competent to be a witness, which affidavit shall be filed, and shall constitute prima facie evidence of such publication or service, as the case may be.

For the purpose of taking the testimony of a witness or witnesses in other counties of this state, or in other states or territories, or foreign countries, a commission may be issued as in other cases, and, when issued ex parte, no cross-interrogatories shall be necessary. Sec. 290. All issues of fact in matters of an estate shall be disposed of in the same manner as is by law provided upon the trial of issues of fact in a common-law action. All questions of costs may be determined by the court, and execution may issue therefor in accordance with the order of the court. Sec. 291. When, upon any proceeding in an estate, an attorney has been appointed for minors or others interested in the estate, such attorney, until another may be appointed, shall represent the party or parties for whom he has been appointed in all subsequent proceedings. Attorneys for minors, absent or nonresident heirs shall receive compensation primarily out of the estate of the distributee so represented by him in such cases and to such extent as may be determined by the court. |

Sec. 293. An appeal may be taken to the supreme court from an order or decree granting or revoking letters testamentary or of administration; admitting a will to probate or revoking the probate thereof; setting aside an estate claimed not to exceed one thousand dollars in value; setting apart property as a homestead, or claimed to be exempt from execution; granting or modifying a family allowance; directing or authorizing the sale or conveyance or confirming the sale of property; settling an account of an executor or administrator or trustee, or instructing or appointing a trustee; instructing or directing an executor or administrator; directing or allowing the payment of a debt, claim, legacy or attorneys fee; determining heirship or the persons to whom distribution should be made or trust property should pass; distributing property; refusing to make any order heretofore mentioned in this section or any decision wherein the amount in controversy equals or exceeds, exclusive of costs, one thousand dollars; or any other order or decree from which an appeal is expressly permitted by this act. Sec. 294. The following papers, without being attached together, shall constitute the judgment roll in the proceedings mentioned in this act: 1. The petition or application or contest or report or account which initiates a particular proceeding; any order directing notice to be given of the hearing thereof; any notice of the hearing thereof, or any order to show cause made thereon, with the affidavits showing such publication, posting or mailing of the notice or order, as may be required by law or the order of the court; the citation, in case no answer or written opposition is filed by a party entitled by law or order of court to notice of the proceedings by citation, with the affidavit or proof of service thereof, and, if service of such citation is made by publication, the affidavit for such publication and the order directing publication; any finding of the court or referee therein; the order or judgment or decree made or rendered therein; and the letters testamentary or of administration, if any. 2. If answer or demurrer or written opposition or counter petition in such proceeding is filed, all pleading and all papers in the nature of pleadings therein; all orders striking out any pleading in whole or in part therein; any order made on demurrer or relating to a change of parties therein; the verdict of the jury, if any; and the papers mentioned in subdivision 1 of this section. |

3. If the proceeding is for the probate of a will, the will; and if the proceeding is a contest of a will, or for revocation of the probate of a will, or a partial, ratable or final distribution of the estate under a will, the will and the order admitting the same to probate; and the papers mentioned in subdivisions 1 and 2 of this section. 4. If the proceeding is for the settlement of the final account of the executor or administrator, or for the final distribution of the estate, the affidavit showing publication of notice to creditors, in addition to other papers as above provided. Sec. 294(a). Upon an appeal, the appellate court may, in its discretion, reverse, affirm or modify the judgment, order or decree appealed from, and as to any or all of the parties, and order a remittitur as in other cases, and may order costs to be paid by any party to the proceeding, or out of the estate, as justice may require. Execution for costs may issue out of the district court. Sec. 295. An appeal by an executor or administrator, as herein provided, who has given an official bond, shall be complete and effectual without an undertaking on appeal. Sec. 296. When an order or decree appointing an executor or administrator shall be reversed on appeal, all lawful acts in administration upon the estate performed by such executor or administrator, if he shall have qualified, shall be as valid as if such order or decree had been affirmed.

Second-If he or she shall leave no issue, the estate shall go one-half to the surviving husband or wife, one-fourth to the intestates father, and one-fourth to the intestates mother, if both are living; if not, one-half to either the father or mother then living. If he or she shall leave no issue, nor father, nor mother, one-half of the separate property of the intestate shall go to the surviving husband or wife, and the other half thereof shall go in equal shares to the brothers and sisters of the intestate, and to the children of any deceased brother or sister by right of representation. If he or she shall leave no issue, or husband, or wife, the estate shall go, one-half to the intestates father and one-half to the intestates mother, if both are living; if not, the whole estate shall go to either the father or mother then living. If he or she shall leave no issue, father, mother, brother, or sister, or children of any issue, all of the separate property of the intestate shall go to the surviving husband or wife. Third-If there be no issue, nor husband, nor wife, nor father, nor mother, then in equal shares to the brothers and sisters of the intestate, and to the children of any deceased brother or sister by right of representation. Fourth-If the intestate shall leave no issue, nor husband, nor wife, nor father, nor mother, and no brother or sister living at his or her death, the estate shall go to the next of kin in equal degree, excepting that when there are two or more collateral kindred in equal degree, but claiming through different ancestors, those who claim through the nearest ancestors shall be preferred to those who claim through ancestors more remote; provided, however, if any person shall die leaving several children, or leaving one child and issue of one or more children, and any such surviving child shall die under age and not having been married, all of the estate that came to such deceased child by inheritance from such deceased parent shall descend in equal shares to the other children of the same parent, and to the issue of any such other children who may have died, by right of representation. Fifth-If at the death of such child, who shall die under age and not having been married, all the other children of this said parent being also dead, and any of them shall have left issue, the estate that came to such child by inheritance from his or her said parent shall descend to all the issue of the other children of the same parent, and if all the said issue are in the same degree of kindred to said child they shall share the said estate equally; otherwise they shall take according to the right of representation. Sixth-If there be no surviving husband or wife, but there be a child or children, the estate shall, if there be only one child, all go to that child; and if there be more than one child, the estate shall descend and be distributed to all the intestates children, share and share alike. |

|
child, the estate shall descend and be distributed to all the intestates children, share and share alike. Seventh-If there be no surviving husband or wife, but there shall be a child or children and the lawful issue of a child or children, the estate shall descend and be distributed to such child or children and lawful issue of such child or children by right of representation as follows: To such child or children each a childs part, and to the lawful issue of each deceased child, by right of representation, the same part and proportion that its parent would have received in case such parent had been living at the time of the intestates death; that is, the lawful issue of any deceased child shall receive the part and proportion that its parent would have received had such parent been living at the time of the intestates death. Eighth-If there be no surviving husband or wife, or child or children, but there be the lawful issue of a child or children, all of the estate shall descend and be distributed to the lawful issue of such child or children by right of representation, and this rule shall apply to the lawful issue of all such children and to the lawful issue ad infinitum. Ninth-If the intestate shall leave no husband, nor wife, nor kindred, the estate shall escheat to the state for educational purposes. Sec. 298. Every illegitimate child shall be considered as an heir of the person who shall acknowledge himself to be the father of such child by signing in writing a declaration to that effect in the presence of one credible witness, who shall sign the declaration also as a witness, and shall in all cases be considered as heir of the mother, and shall inherit in whole or in part, as the case may be, in the same manner as if born in lawful wedlock. Illegitimate children shall be legitimatized by the intermarriage of the parents with each other. Children, so acknowledged or so legitimatized, shall have all the rights of inheritance of legitimate children. The issue of all marriages, deemed null in law or dissolved by divorce, shall be legitimate. Sec. 299. If any illegitimate child shall die intestate, without lawful issue and shall not have been acknowledged or legitimatized, as above provided, his estate shall descend to his mother, or, in case of her decease, to her heirs at law. Sec. 300. The degrees of kindred shall be computed according to the rules of the civil law, and kindred of the half blood shall inherit equally with those of the whole blood in the same degree, unless the inheritance comes to the intestate by descent, devise or gift from some one of his or her ancestors, in which case all those who are not of the blood of such ancestors shall be excluded from the inheritance. Sec. 301. Any estate, real or personal, that may have been given by the deceased in his or her lifetime as an advancement to any donee, shall be considered as part of the estate of the intestate, for the sole purpose of computing the respective shares of the distributees and shall be taken by such donee toward his or her share of the estate of the deceased. |

been given by the deceased in his or her lifetime as an advancement to any donee, shall be considered as part of the estate of the intestate, for the sole purpose of computing the respective shares of the distributees and shall be taken by such donee toward his or her share of the estate of the deceased. Sec. 302. If the amount of such advancement shall exceed the share of the heir so advanced, such heir shall be excluded from any further portion of the distribution and division of the estate, but he or she shall not be required to refund any part of such advancement; and if the amount so received shall be less than his or her share, he or she shall be entitled to as much more as will give him or her his or her full share of the estate of the deceased. Sec. 303. No gift or grant shall be deemed to have been made as an advancement unless so expressed in the gift or grant, or charged in writing by the deceased as an advancement, or acknowledged in writing by the donee to be such. Sec. 304. If the value of the advancement shall be expressed in the conveyance, or in the charge thereof made by the deceased, or in the acknowledgment of the party receiving it, it shall be considered of that value in the distribution and division of the estate; otherwise it shall be estimated according to its value when given as nearly as the same can be ascertained. Sec. 305. If any child, or other lineal descendant so advanced, shall die before the person making the advancement, leaving issue, the advancement shall be taken into consideration in the distribution and division of the estate as if the advancement had been made directly to such issue. Sec. 306. The provisions of this act, as to the inheritance of the husband and wife from each other, apply only to the separate property of the intestate. Sec. 307. This act shall be liberally construed, to the end that justice may be done all parties, and a speedy settlement of estates at the least expense secured; and all proceedings in matters of estate shall be proceedings of record as other actions and proceedings; and all attorneys for estates or executors or administrators or appointed in the proceedings, shall be attorneys of record with like powers and responsibilities as attorneys in other actions and proceedings, and shall be entitled to receive a reasonable compensation, to be paid out of the estate they respectively represent, for services rendered, to be allowed by the court. Sec. 308. When it shall be made to appear to the court or judge, by affidavit or otherwise, that the gross value of the whole estate does not exceed three thousand dollars, the court or judge may, if deemed advisable, make an order for a summary administration of such estate, dispensing with all regular proceedings and notices, except the notice of appointment of executor or administrator, which shall be given by publication for once a week for four successive weeks; provided, the cost does not exceed five dollars. |

order for a summary administration of such estate, dispensing with all regular proceedings and notices, except the notice of appointment of executor or administrator, which shall be given by publication for once a week for four successive weeks; provided, the cost does not exceed five dollars. All sales of real property, even where summary administration is ordered, shall be made upon notice given and in the manner required by this act for sales of real property. Creditors of such an estate must file their claims, due or to become due, with the clerk, within forty days after the first publication of said notice, and within five days thereafter the executor or administrator must act on the claims filed, and present them in three days thereafter to the judge for his action. Any claim which shall not be filed within said forty days shall be barred forever. The judge or court may, however, if deemed proper, order the notice herein provided for to be given by posting instead of by publication. The court or judge must be satisfied that proper notice has been given before decreeing distribution of the estate and discharging the executor or administrator. Every claim which shall have been filed as above provided, allowed by the executor or administrator, and approved by the judge, shall then, and not until then, be ranked as an acknowledged debt of the estate, and to be paid in due course of administration. The administration of the estate may be closed and distribution made at any time after the expiration of the time for the judge to act on the claims, when it shall appear to the court that all the debts of the estate, expenses and charges of administration and allowances to the family, if any, have been paid, and the estate is in condition to be finally settled.

as (executor or administrator, as the case may be) of the estate of........................., late of said county, deceased. All creditors having claims against said estate are required to file the same with proper vouchers attached, with the clerk of the court, within three months of the first publication of this notice. Dated...................... Sec. 310. Inheritance or succession by right of representation takes place when the descendants of any deceased heir take the same share or right in the estate of another person that their parents would have taken if living. Posthumous children are considered as living at the death of their parents. Sec. 311. If any person shall die, or any person who may have died, within this state, seised of any real or personal estate, and leaving no heirs, representatives, devisees or legatees capable of inheriting or holding the same, and in all cases where there is no owner of such estate capable of holding the same, such estate shall escheat to and be vested in the State of Nevada for educational purposes. Sec. 312. Whenever the attorney-general shall be informed, or shall have reason to believe, that any real or personal estate has become escheatable to this state for the reasons specified in the preceding section, or that any such estate has, for any other reason, become escheatable, it shall be his duty to file an information in behalf of the state in the district court of the county wherein such estate, or any part thereof, is situated, setting forth a description of the estate, the name of the person last lawfully seised, the name of the terre-tenant and persons claiming such estate, if known, and the facts and circumstances in consequence of which said estate is claimed to have become escheated, and alleging that by reason thereof the State of Nevada has by law right to such estate; whereupon, such court shall order that a citation be issued to such person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, alleged in such information to hold, possess or claim such estate, requiring them to appear and show cause why such estate should not be vested in the State of Nevada, said citation to be made returnable within the time allowed by law in other civil actions. The court may also, if deemed advisable, order the citation to be published in a newspaper published in said county (if any), and, if none, then in some other newspaper in this state; provided, however, that when the residue remaining of any estate mentioned in the preceding section, after the payment of the costs and expenses of administration and creditors claims and other expenses does not exceed the sum or value of five hundred dollars, the proceedings hereinbefore specified for the escheating of such estate to the State of Nevada shall be dispensed with, and the administrator of such estate, or other legal representative of the deceased, shall, on the order of the court, pay over or deliver such residue to the county treasurer of the county wherein said estate is being probated or is situated for the benefit of the State of Nevada, and the receipt or certificate of said county treasurer, evidencing such payment or delivery, shall be filed with the clerk of the district court of the county wherein such estate is being probated or is situated, and, upon such filing, said administrator, or other legal representative of the deceased shall be released and discharged from all further liability as to such residue, and upon such payment or delivery to him said county treasurer shall notify the attorney-general of the State of Nevada of the same, and shall pay over or deliver such residue to the state treasurer of the State of Nevada, taking his receipt or certificate therefor, and such payment or delivery shall be subject to all of the provisions of this act concerning the recovery of the same from this state by any person or persons found to be entitled thereto. |

of the deceased, shall, on the order of the court, pay over or deliver such residue to the county treasurer of the county wherein said estate is being probated or is situated for the benefit of the State of Nevada, and the receipt or certificate of said county treasurer, evidencing such payment or delivery, shall be filed with the clerk of the district court of the county wherein such estate is being probated or is situated, and, upon such filing, said administrator, or other legal representative of the deceased shall be released and discharged from all further liability as to such residue, and upon such payment or delivery to him said county treasurer shall notify the attorney-general of the State of Nevada of the same, and shall pay over or deliver such residue to the state treasurer of the State of Nevada, taking his receipt or certificate therefor, and such payment or delivery shall be subject to all of the provisions of this act concerning the recovery of the same from this state by any person or persons found to be entitled thereto. Sec. 313. All persons, bodies politic or corporate, named in such information as terre-tenants or claimants to such estate, may appear and plead to such proceedings, and may traverse or deny the facts stated in such information-the title of the state to the estate therein mentioned-at any time on or before the return day of the citation; and any other person claiming an interest in such estate may appear and be made a defendant, and plead as aforesaid, by motion for that purpose made in open court, within the time allowed for pleading as aforesaid; and if any person shall appear and plead as aforesaid, denying the title set up by the state, or traverse any material fact set forth in the information, or issue or issues of fact to be made up, the matter shall proceed as other civil actions on issues of fact, and a survey may be ordered, as in other civil actions, when the boundary is called into question; and after the issues are tried, if it shall appear from the facts that the state has a good title to the estate in the information mentioned, or any part thereof, or if no defense be made by any one, judgment shall be rendered that the state be seised thereof, and recover costs of suit against the defendants, if any appear. Upon any judgment hereafter rendered, or that has heretofore been rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction, escheating real property to the state, on motion of the attorney-general, or on motion of any executor or administrator having charge of such estate, the court shall, or the court may, upon its own motion, make an order that said real property be sold by the sheriff of the county wherein the same is situated, at public sale, after giving such notice of the time and place of sale as is provided in cases of sale of property under execution; and the sheriff shall, within ten days after such sale, make a report thereof to the court, and upon the hearing of said report the court may examine the said report and witnesses in relation to the same, and if the proceedings were unfair, or the sum bid be disproportionate to the value of property sold, or if it appears that a sum exceeding such bid by at least ten percent may be obtained, the court may vacate the sale and direct another sale to be had, of which notice must be given, and the sale in all respects conducted as if no previous sale had taken place. |

make a report thereof to the court, and upon the hearing of said report the court may examine the said report and witnesses in relation to the same, and if the proceedings were unfair, or the sum bid be disproportionate to the value of property sold, or if it appears that a sum exceeding such bid by at least ten percent may be obtained, the court may vacate the sale and direct another sale to be had, of which notice must be given, and the sale in all respects conducted as if no previous sale had taken place. If an offer of ten percent more in amount than that named in the report be made to the court in writing, by a responsible person, the court may, in its discretion, accept such offer, and confirm the sale to such person, or order a new sale. If it appears to the court that the sale was legally made and fairly conducted, and that the sum bid is not disproportionate to the value of the property sold, and that a sum in excess of ten percent of the bid made cannot be obtained, or, if the increased bid above mentioned be made and accepted by the court, the court must make an order confirming the sale and directing the sheriff, in the name of the state, to execute to the purchaser or purchasers a conveyance of said property sold; and conveyance shall vest in the purchaser or purchasers all of the right and title of the state therein, and the sheriff shall, out of the proceeds of such sale, pay the costs of said proceedings incurred on behalf of the state, including the expenses of making such sale, and also an attorneys fee, if additional counsel were employed in such proceedings, to be fixed by the court, not exceeding fifteen percent on the amount of such sale, and the residue thereof shall be paid by said sheriff into the state treasury. In all proceedings to recover estates which have vested in the state by escheat, whenever the same has been sold as provided in this section, the party adjudged entitled thereto shall be entitled to the proceeds of such sale paid into the state treasury, in lieu of the real property sold, and the court shall decree accordingly. Sec. 314. Any party who shall have appeared in any proceedings as aforesaid, and the attorney-general, in behalf of the state, shall respectively have the same right to prosecute an appeal or writ of error upon any judgment, as aforesaid, as parties in other cases. Sec. 315. The state controller shall keep a just and true account of all money paid into the treasury, as also of all lands and personal property vested in the state by escheat; and if, within ten years after any judgment escheating property to the state any person shall appear and claim any money that may have been paid into the state treasury on any real or personal property vested in the state by such judgment, such person may file a petition in the district court of the county wherein the capital of the state is situated, stating the nature of the claim, with an appropriate prayer for the relief demanded. |

court of the county wherein the capital of the state is situated, stating the nature of the claim, with an appropriate prayer for the relief demanded. A copy of such petition shall be served upon the attorney-general before or at the time of filing the same, who shall, within twenty days thereafter, appear in said proceeding and plead or answer to such petition; or, if the attorney-general, after examining all the facts, should become convinced that the state has no legal defense against the petition, he may, with the consent of the court, confess, on behalf of the state, judgment. If judgment shall not be so confessed, the petition shall be considered at issue on the twentieth day after its filing, and may be heard by the court on that day, or at such future day as the court may order. Upon the hearing, the court shall examine into said claim and hear the allegations and proofs, from which, if the court shall find that such person is entitled to any money paid into the state treasury as aforesaid, it shall, by judgment, order and direct the state controller to draw his warrant in favor of such claimant upon the treasurer for the sum specified in such order, but without interest or cost to the state. If any real estate is the subject of such trial, and the court finds the claimant entitled to it, the court shall decree accordingly, which shall be effectual for divesting the interests of the state in or to such real estate, but no costs shall be taxed against the state. A certified copy of the judgment and order directing the controller to draw his warrant for money shall be a sufficient voucher for him so to do. All persons who shall fail to appear and file their petitions within the time limited as aforesaid shall be forever barred, saving, however, infants and persons of unsound mind, who shall have the right to appear and file their petition as aforesaid, at any time within five years after their respective disabilities shall be removed. The legislature may cause any lands, escheated to the state, or personal estate, other than money, at any time after the judgment of escheatal, to be sold as may be provided by law, and the proceeds paid into the state treasury, in which case the petitioners shall be entitled to the proceeds thereof, in lieu of such lands or personal estate, and the court shall decree accordingly. Sec. 316. The said district court, upon the filing of the information hereinbefore provided, upon the motion of the attorney-general, either before or after answer, upon notice to the party or parties claiming the estate, if known, may, sufficient cause therefor being shown, appoint a receiver to take charge of the real estate or personal property, other than money, mentioned in such information, and receive the rents and profits of the same until the title of such property shall be finally settled. Such receiver shall, before entering upon his duties, execute to the State of Nevada a bond in a sum to be fixed by the court, with sureties to be approved by the judge, conditioned to faithfully perform the duties of the trust, and fully account to the party finally adjudged to be entitled to the property. |

Such party may maintain an action on such bond for any default or damage. Sec. 317. Any person furnishing original information to the attorney-general of any property escheatable to the state, with the necessary evidence to sustain the action of the state in that behalf, shall be entitled to receive, upon the final recovery of such property, five percent of the value of such property so recovered; provided, that the amount so recovered by the person furnishing the information shall not in the aggregate exceed the sum of twenty thousand dollars in any one case; and provided further, that one person only shall be entitled to compensation for such service. Sec. 318. All moneys which have accrued or may hereafter accrue to the state from escheated estates shall be paid into the general fund, but may only be used for educational purposes. Sec. 319. When not otherwise specially provided in this act, all the provisions of law regulating proceedings in civil cases apply in matters of estate, when appropriate, or the same may be applied as auxiliary to the provisions of this act. Sec. 320. Whenever any husband dies intestate, leaving heirs, and if the wife dies intestate subsequently to her husband, without heirs, leaving property, her estate shall vest in the heirs of her husband, subject to expenses of administration and payment of legal debts against the estate. Sec. 321. Whenever any wife dies intestate without issue, leaving heirs, and if the husband dies intestate subsequently to his wife, without heirs, leaving property, his estate shall vest in the heirs of the wife, subject to expenses of administration and payment of legal debts against the estate. Sec. 322. All notices required to be given by this act may be given by the clerk of the court without an order from the judge for the same; and, when so given, for the time and in the manner required by law, they shall be as legal and valid as though made upon an order from such judge. Sec. 323. If the court is not in session at the time set for the hearing of any matter concerning the settlement of the estates of deceased persons, any one opposing the application therein made may file objections thereto with the clerk. Sec. 324. Before letters testamentary, or letters of administration, or letters of administration with the will annexed, are delivered to any executor or administrator, he shall file with the county clerk of the county in which the administration of the estate is pending a written statement containing his name and his permanent address, which permanent address may, from time to time, be changed by him by filing with such county clerk a written statement giving his changed address, and his permanent address shall be deemed to be that contained in the last statement so filed by him. |

with the county clerk of the county in which the administration of the estate is pending a written statement containing his name and his permanent address, which permanent address may, from time to time, be changed by him by filing with such county clerk a written statement giving his changed address, and his permanent address shall be deemed to be that contained in the last statement so filed by him. The taking of his oath of office by an executor or by an administrator, or by an administrator with the will annexed, shall be deemed to be and shall be the equivalent of an appointment by him of the county clerk of the county in which the administration of the estate is pending to be his true and lawful attorney, upon whom all legal process in any action or proceeding against such executor or administrator may be served, with the same legal force and effect as if served upon him personally within the State of Nevada. Such service of process shall be made by leaving a copy of the process (and if such process be a summons, there shall be attached thereto a copy of the complaint certified by the clerk or the plaintiffs attorney, and such summons and certified copy of the complaint shall be included in the words, copy of the process), with a fee of $2, in the hands of said county clerk, and such service shall be sufficient personal service and shall be the equivalent of personal service upon such executor or administrator within this state; provided, that notice of such service and a copy of the process are forthwith sent by said county clerk, by registered mail, to such executor or administrator, addressed to him at his last permanent address shown by his statement so filed as aforesaid with the county clerk, with postage fully prepaid thereon, and an affidavit or affidavits showing compliance herewith is or are appended to the original process and returned and filed in the action in which it was issued. The court in which the action is pending may order such continuances as may be necessary to afford the defendant reasonable opportunity to defend the action. The foregoing method of service is cumulative, and shall not prevent the personal service of process upon the defendant within the State of Nevada. Sec. 325. No action to which an executor or administrator or administrator with the will annexed is a party shall abate by reason of the death, disqualification, resignation or removal of such executor or administrator, but the person who is appointed, qualifies and is acting as his successor shall, upon motion, be substituted as a party to said action. Sec. 326. An act entitled An Act to Regulate the Settlement of the Estates of Deceased Persons, approved March 23, 1897, and all acts amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto, and also all acts or parts of acts in conflict with this act, are hereby repealed except as to estates and proceedings for the settlement of estates of deceased persons commended prior to the effective date hereof, but as respects such estates all proceedings shall be had and rights determined under said act of March 23, 1897, and acts amendatory and supplemental thereto. |

Said city planning commission shall have not to exceed 30 days time for action on said map and report to the governing body of the county in which said subdivision is situated. The governing body of said county shall take into consideration the report of said city planning commission before approving the final map of any subdivision within said three miles limit. Sec. 20. It shall be unlawful for any person to offer to sell, to contract to sell, to sell, or to transfer any subdivision or any part thereof until the final map thereof in full compliance with the provisions of this act and any local ordinance has been duly recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which any portion of said subdivision is located. Any offer to sell, contract to sell, sale, or transfer contrary to the provisions of this act shall be a misdemeanor, and any person, firm, or corporation, upon conviction thereof, shall be punishable by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars and not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment, except that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to bar any legal, equitable, or summary remedy to which any aggrieved municipality or other political subdivision, or any person, firm, or corporation may otherwise be entitled, and any such municipality or other political subdivision or person, firm, or corporation may file a suit in the superior court of the county in which any property attempted to be subdivided or sold in violation of this act is located to restrain or enjoin any attempted or proposed subdivision or sale in violation of this act. Sec. 21. The initial action in connection with the making of any subdivision shall be the preparation of a tentative map or maps which shall show, or be accompanied by, such data as are specified by the provisions hereof. The subdivider shall file copies of such map or maps with the planning commission or with the clerk of the governing body if there be no planning commission. If there is no planning commission, the clerk of the governing body shall submit the tentative map to said body at its next regular meeting. Said governing body shall act thereon within forty days after such submittal.

days after the tentative map has been filed and said report shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the map or maps of the subdivision. If conditionally approved or disapproved, the report shall state the conditions under which the map would have been approved. If the subdivider is dissatisfied with any action of the planning commission, he may, within fifteen days after such action, appeal from said action to the governing body which must hear the same, unless the subdivider consents to a continuance, within ten days or at its next succeeding regular meeting. Said governing body may by a majority vote of its members overrule any ruling of the planning commission in regard to said tentative map, and make such findings as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this act or local ordinance adopted pursuant thereto. Sec. 22. The time limits for acting and reporting on maps as specified herein may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the governing body or planning commission as the case may be. If no action is taken within the time limits hereinbefore set forth, the tentative map as filed shall be deemed to be approved, and it shall be the duty of the clerk of the governing body to certify such approval. The subdivider may within one year after approval or conditional approval of the tentative map or maps of a subdivision cause said subdivision, or any part thereof, to be surveyed and a final map thereof to be prepared in accordance with the tentative map as approved. Any failure so to record such final map within one year from the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map shall terminate all proceedings, and before such final map may thereafter be recorded, or any such sales be made, a new tentative map shall be submitted. No final map of a subdivision as defined herein shall be accepted by the county recorder for record unless all provisions of this act and of any local ordinance have been complied with. The recorder may have not more than ten days to examine the final map before accepting or refusing it for recordation. Sec. 23. The enactment of local ordinances is hereby authorized. Such ordinances may prescribe detailed regulations which, in addition to the provisions of this act, would govern matters of improvements, mapping, accuracy, engineering, and related subjects, but shall not be in conflict with this act. In case there is a local ordinance, the subdivider shall comply with its provisions before the map or maps of a subdivision may be approved. In case there is no local ordinance, the governing body may, as a condition precedent to the approval of the map or maps of a subdivision, require streets and drainage ways properly located and improved and of an adequate width, but make no other requirements. |

Preparation of survey and final map |
Sec. 24. Upon receipt of the final map and report of the planning commission, the governing body shall at its next meeting, or within a period of not more than ten days after such filing, approve said map if the same conforms to all the requirements of this act and of any local ordinance applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map, or any rulings made thereunder. Said body shall at that time also accept or reject any or all offers of dedication and may, as a condition precedent to the acceptance of any streets or easements, require that the subdivider either improve or agree to improve said streets or easements. In the event an agreement for the improvement of the streets or easements is entered into, the governing body may require that said agreement be secured by a good and sufficient bond in an amount not in excess of the cost of the improvement. Sec. 25. Title to property accepted for streets and easements shall pass when the final map is duly recorded under the provisions of this act. If at the time the final map is approved any streets are rejected, the offer of dedication shall be deemed to remain open and the governing body may by resolution at any later date, and without further action by the subdivider, rescind its action and accept and open said streets for public use, which acceptance shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder. Sec. 26. The survey and final map shall be made by a civil engineer or surveyor who shall set sufficient durable monuments so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey; provided, however, that such monuments need not be set at the time the survey is made if a satisfactory assurance is given of their being set later. The final map shall be clearly and legibly drawn in black waterproof India ink upon good tracing cloth, but affidavits, certificates, and acknowledgments may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink. The size of each sheet of said map shall be twenty-four by thirty-two inches. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch at the top, bottom, and right edges, and of two inches at the left edge along the thirty-two inch dimension. The scale of the map shall be large enough to show all details clearly and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown. The final map shall show all survey and mathematical information and data necessary to locate all monuments, and to locate and retrace any and all interior and exterior boundary lines appearing thereon, including bearings and distances of straight lines, and radii and arc length for all curves, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of curves. |

such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of curves. Each lot shall be numbered, and each block may be numbered or lettered. Each street shall be named. The exterior boundary of the land included within the subdivision shall be indicated by colored border. The map shall show the definite location of the subdivision, and particularly its relation to surrounding surveys. The final map shall also satisfy any additional survey and map requirements of the local ordinance. Sec. 27. Monuments required by section 26 of this act shall be of stone of not less than six inches smallest dimension and not less than twelve inches in length, with a cross chiseled to mark the point of reference, or of concrete of not less than six inches smallest dimension and not less than twelve inches in length, with the point of reference marked by a metal plug firmly set therein, and such monuments shall be firmly set with the tops not less than four inches below the surface of the ground or street. Sec. 28. The following certificates and acknowledgments shall appear on the final map and may be combined where appropriate: (a) A certificate signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the land subdivided, consenting to the preparation and recordation of said map. A lien for state, county, municipal, or local taxes and for special assessments or beneficial interest under trust deeds or trust interests under bond indentures shall not be deemed to be an interest in land for the purpose of this section. Any map including territory originally patented by the United States or the State of Nevada, under patent reserving interest to either or both of said entities, may be recorded under the provisions of this act without the consent of said United States or the State of Nevada thereto, or to dedications made thereon. Signatures required by this section of parties owning rights-of-way, easements, or reversions which by reason of changed conditions, long disuse, or laches appear to be no longer of practical use or value, and which signatures it is impossible or impracticable to obtain, may be omitted if the names of such parties and the nature of their interest is endorsed on the map, together with a reasonable statement of the circumstances preventing the procurement of such signatures. (b) A certificate, signed and acknowledged as above, offering for dedication for certain specified public uses (subject to such reservations as may be contained in any such offer of dedication) those certain parcels of land which said parties desire so to dedicate. Such certificate may state that any certain parcel or parcels are not offered for dedication; provided, however, that a local ordinance may require as a condition precedent to the approval of any final map that any or all of the parcels of land shown thereon and intended for any public use shall be offered for dedication for public use except those parcels other than streets intended for the exclusive use of the lot owners in such subdivision, their licensees, visitors, tenants, and servants. |

(e) If a subdivision lies within an unincorporated area, a certificate by the county surveyor; and if a subdivision lies within a city, a certificate by the city engineer or by the county surveyor when for that purpose appointed by the governing body of said city, stating that he has examined said final map, that the subdivision as shown thereon is substantially the same as it appeared on the tentative map, and any approved alterations thereof, that all provisions of this act and of any local ordinance applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map have been complied with, and that he is satisfied that said map is technically correct. Sec. 29. Any owner or owners of land that has been laid out and platted as hereinbefore provided, may, upon application to the city council of the city wherein said land is situated, or to the board of county commissioners of any county wherein said land is contained, have such plat, or any portion thereof, or any street therein contained abandoned or vacated, as hereinafter provided. Sec. 30. Any person, firm, or corporation desiring the vacation or abandonment of any street or portion thereof shall file a petition in writing, signed by not less than three freeholders who reside in the area affected by such proposed vacation and abandonment, with the governing body having jurisdiction. If there be a planning commission the governing body shall refer said petition to said planning commission which shall report thereon to the governing body as set forth in section 12 hereof. Whenever any streets are proposed to be vacated, the governing body shall cause said streets to be posted with a notice setting forth the extent of said proposed abandonment and setting a date for public hearing, which date shall be not less than thirty days and not more than forty days subsequent to the date of posting of the street. |

hearing, which date shall be not less than thirty days and not more than forty days subsequent to the date of posting of the street. If upon public hearing the governing body is satisfied that the public will not be materially injured by such proposed vacation, it shall order such street to be vacated. Said order shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder, and upon such recordation title to such street shall revert to the abutting property owners. Any easement for light and air adjacent to any vacated street is vacated upon the vacation of said street. Sec. 31. Any person, firm, or corporation desiring to revert any subdivision or part thereof to acreage or to abandon any subdivision map or portion thereof shall cause a final map of said reversion or abandonment to be recorded in the office of the county recorder. Said final map shall contain the certificate set forth in section 28(a) hereof, and shall be presented to the governing body for approval. If said map includes the abandonment of any public streets, the provisions of section 30 hereof must be followed prior to the recordation of said map. Except for the provisions of this section and any provision or ordinance relating to the payment of fees in conjunction with filing or recordation or checking of a final map, no other provision of this act shall apply to a map made solely for the purpose of abandonment of a former map or for reversion of any subdivision to acreage. Sec. 32. The county recorder shall collect a fee of five dollars for the recordation of any final map. Said fee shall be deposited in the general fund of the county wherein it is collected. Sec. 33. Any county recorder who records a map contrary to the provisions of this act or of any local ordinance adopted pursuant hereto shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 34. The governing body of any city or county may provide for the inspection of structures and the enforcement of the zoning regulations by means of the withholding of building permits, and, for such purpose may establish and fill a position of county building inspector, and may fix the compensation attached to said position, or may authorize an administrative official of the city or county to assume the functions of such position in addition to his customary functions. Such governing body may also fix a reasonable schedule of fees for the issuance of such permits, and may adopt a building code specifying the design, soundness, and materials of structures and rules, ordinances and regulations for the enforcement of said code. From and after the establishment of the position of building inspector and the filling of the same, it shall be unlawful to erect, construct, reconstruct, alter, or change the use of any building or other structure within the territory covered by such building code or zoning regulations without obtaining a building permit from such building inspector, and such building inspector shall not issue any permit unless the plans of and for the proposed erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, or use fully conform to all building code and zoning regulations then in effect. |

The number on each ballot shall be the same as that on the corresponding stub, and the ballots and stubs shall be numbered consecutively in each county.

A cross (X) stamped in the square opposite the names of the presidential and vice presidential candidates of a party is a vote for all of the electors of that party, but for no other candidates; provided, however, that nothing in this act shall be construed to permit the rejection of any ballot because a voter has marked a cross (X) after the name or names of candidates for presidential electors or either or any of them, not exceeding three such candidates, though no space has been provided on said ballot for such mark; and provided further, that in the event of such latter marking, and either a marking or no marking after the names of the candidates for president and vice president and their party designation, such ballot shall be construed to have been cast for the candidates for electors opposite whose names and party designation such mark has been placed, and shall be so counted and tallied.

In case of a constitutional amendment or other question submitted to the voters, the cross or X shall be placed in the square after the answer which he desires to give. Such stamping shall be done with a stamp in black ink, which stamp, ink, and ink-pad shall be furnished in sufficient number by the county clerk for each election precinct in the county.

Whereas, The Nevada state prison has been greatly overcrowded for several years and it is impossible, therefore, to properly segregate the young prisoners and first offenders from the older prisoners who have been convicted of the more serious felonies or of more than one felony, and said crowded condition makes it impossible to have proper ventilation and sanitation without at least one additional building and the facilities and equipment for it; and the number of prisoners confined there has increased and is constantly increasing so that the state board of pardons and paroles is constantly faced at each session thereof with the necessity of greatly reducing the number of prisoners confined at the state prison and pressure is thereby brought upon said board to turn out as many as is reasonably possible, and it is necessary that this be done, in order to make room for the new prisoners who are sure to come to the prison; now, therefore,
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Provision is hereby made for the construction, equipment, and furnishing of a new building at the Nevada state prison to be used as a cell block and for the care and housing of prisoners confined in Nevada state prison and for other purposes, and for additions to and improvements of certain other buildings at said state prison, and the remodeling, repairing, reconditioning, and furnishing of said buildings, and to provide for the work and materials incident thereto and for the payment of the same, at an estimated cost of two hundred sixty-five thousand ($265,000) dollars, more adequately to care for and house the prisoners confined in said state prison and the guards and other employees housed and/or fed at said state prison, and to relieve the crowded and cramped conditions in said state prison and render said housing facilities there more sanitary, and to provide heating, lighting, and plumbing facilities for said new building and for the repair and improvement of such facilities for the other building or buildings at said state prison needing the same. |

Chap. 128An Act relating to trust receipts and pledges of personal property unaccompanied by possession in the pledgee, and matters relating thereto.
[Approved March 28, 1941]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION I.
How Cited. This act may be cited as The Uniform Trust Receipts Law.
SECTION II.
Definitions. In this act unless the context or subject matter otherwise requires: 1. Buyer in the ordinary course of trade means a person to whom goods are sold and delivered for new value and who acts in good faith and without actual knowledge of any limitation on the trustees liberty of sale, including one who takes by conditional sale or under a preexisting mercantile contract with the trustee to buy goods delivered, or like goods, for cash or on credit. Buyer in the ordinary course of trade does not include a pledgee, a mortgagee, a lienor, or a transferee in bulk. 2. Document means any document of title to goods. 3. Entruster means the person who has or directly or by agent takes a security interest in goods, documents or instruments, under a trust receipt transaction, and any successor in interest of such person. A person in the business of selling goods or instruments for profit, who at the outset of the transaction has, as against the buyer, general property in such goods or instruments, and who sells the same to the buyer on credit, retaining title or other security interest under a purchase money mortgage or conditional sales contract or otherwise, is excluded. 4. Goods means any chattels personal other than money, things in action, or things so affixed to land as to become a part thereof. 5. Instrument means: (a) Any negotiable instrument as defined in the negotiable instruments law and amendments thereto; or (b) Any certificate of stock, or bond or debenture for the payment of money issued by a public or private corporation as part of a series; or (c) Any interim, deposit, or participation certificate or receipt, or other credit or investment instrument of a sort marketed in the ordinary course of business or finance of which the trustee, after the trust receipt transaction, appears by virtue of possession and the face of the instrument to be the owner, Instrument does not include any document of title to goods. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 297 (CHAPTER 128, SB 20)κ
|
by virtue of possession and the face of the instrument to be the owner, Instrument does not include any document of title to goods. 6. Lien creditor means any creditor who has acquired a specific lien on the goods, documents or instruments by attachment, levy, or by any other similar operation of law or judicial process, including a distraining landlord. 7. New value includes new advances or loans made, or new obligation incurred, or the release or surrender of a valid and existing security interest, or the release of a claim to proceeds under section V-(F); but new value shall not be construed to include extension or renewals of existing obligations of the trustee, nor obligations substituted for such existing obligations. 8. Person means, as the case may be, an individual, trustee, receiver or other fiduciary, partnership, corporation, business trust, or other association, and two or more persons having a joint or common interest. 9. Possession, as used in this act with reference to possession taken or retained by the entruster, means actual possession of goods, documents or instruments, or, in the case of goods, such constructive possession as, by means of tags or signs or other outward marks placed and remaining in conspicuous places, may reasonably be expected in fact to indicate to the third party in question that the entruster has control over or interest in the goods. 10. Purchase means taking by sale, conditional sale, lease, mortgage, or pledge, legal or equitable. 11. Purchaser means any person taking by purchase. A pledgee, mortgagee or other claimant of a security interest created by contract is, insofar as concerns his specific security, a purchaser and not a creditor. 12. Security interest means a property interest in goods, documents, or instruments, limited in extent to securing performance of some obligation of the trustee or of some third person to the entruster, and includes the interest of a pledgee, and title, whether or not expressed to be absolute, whenever such title is in substance taken or retained for security only. 13. Transferee in bulk means a mortgagee or a pledgee or a buyer of the trustees business substantially as a whole. 14. Trustee means the person having or taking possession of goods, documents, or instruments under a trust receipt transaction, and any successor in interest of such person. The use of the word trustee herein shall not be interpreted or construed to imply the existence of a trust or any right or duty of a trustee in the sense of equity jurisprudence other than as provided by this act. 15. Value means any consideration sufficient to support a simple contract. An antecedent or preexisting claim, whether for money or not, and whether against the transferror or against another person, constitutes value where goods, documents, or instruments are taken either in satisfaction thereof or as security therefor. |

SECTION III.
Trust Receipt Transaction, What Constitutes. (1) A trust receipt transaction within the meaning of this act is any transaction to which an entruster and a trustee are parties, for one of the purposes set forth in subdivision (3) of this section, whereby (a) The entruster or any third person delivers to the trustee goods, documents or instruments in which the entruster (i) prior to the transaction has, or for new value (ii) by the transaction acquires, or (iii) as the result thereof is to acquire promptly, a security interest; or (b) The entruster gives new value in reliance upon the transfer by the trustee to such entruster of a security interest in instruments or documents which are actually exhibited to such entruster, or to his agent in that behalf, at a place of business of either entruster or agent, but possession of which is retained by the trustee; provided, that the delivery under paragraph (a) or the giving of new value under paragraph (b) either (i) Be against the signing and delivery by the trustee of a writing designating the goods, documents, or instruments concerned, and reciting that a security interest therein remains in or will remain in, or has passed to or will pass to, the entruster; or (ii) Be pursuant to a prior or concurrent written and signed agreement of the trustee to give such a writing. The security interest of the entruster may be derived from the trustee or from any other person, and by pledge or by transfer of title or otherwise. If the trustees rights in the goods, documents, or instruments are subject to a prior trust receipt transaction, or to a prior equitable pledge, section V-(E) and section IV, respectively, of this act, determine the priorities. (2) A writing such as is described in subdivision (1), paragraph (i), of this section signed by the trustee, and given in or pursuant to such a transaction, is designated in this act as a trust receipt. No further formality of execution or authentication shall be necessary to the validity of a trust receipt. (3) A transaction shall not be deemed a trust receipt transaction unless the possession of the trustee thereunder is for a purpose substantially equivalent to any one of the following: (a) In the case of goods, documents or instruments, for the purpose of selling or exchanging them, or of procuring their sale or exchange; or
|
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 299 (CHAPTER 128, SB 20)κ
|
the purpose of selling or exchanging them, or of procuring their sale or exchange; or (b) In the case of goods or documents, for the purpose of manufacturing or processing the goods delivered or covered by the documents, with the purpose of ultimate sale, or for the purpose of loading, unloading, storing, shipping, transshipping, or otherwise dealing with them in a manner preliminary to or necessary to their sale; or (c) In the case of instruments, for the purpose of delivering them to a principal, under whom the trustee is holding them, or for consummation of some transaction involving delivery to a depositary or registrar, or for their presentation, collection, or renewal.
SECTION IV.
Pledge or Agreement to Pledge, when Valid. (1) An attempted pledge or agreement to pledge not accompanied by delivery of possession, which does not fulfill the requirements of a trust receipt transaction, shall be valid as against creditors of the pledgor only as follows: (a) To the extent that new value is given by the pledgee in reliance thereon, such pledge or agreement to pledge shall be valid as against all creditors with or without notice for ten days from the time the new value is given; (b) To the extent that the value given by the pledgee is not new value, and in the case of new value after the lapse of ten days from the giving thereof, the pledge shall have validity as against lien creditors without notice, who become such as prescribed in section V-(D), only as of the time the pledgee takes possession, and without relation back. (2) Purchasers (including entrusters) for value and without notice of the pledgees interest shall take free of any such pledge or agreement to pledge unless, prior to the purchase, it has been perfected by possession taken. (3) Where, under circumstances not constituting a trust receipt transaction, a person for a temporary and limited purpose delivers goods, documents or instruments in which he holds a pledgees or other security interest to the person holding the beneficial interest therein, the transaction has like effect with a purported pledge for a new value under this section.
SECTION V.
Contract to Give Trust Receipt. (1) A contract to give a trust receipt, if in writing and signed by the trustee, shall, with reference to goods, documents, or instruments thereafter delivered by the entruster to the trustee in reliance on such contract be equivalent in all respects to a trust receipt. (2) Such a contract shall as to such goods, documents, or instruments be specifically enforceable against the trustee, but this subdivision shall not enlarge the scope of the entrusters rights against creditors of the trustee as limited by this act. |

but this subdivision shall not enlarge the scope of the entrusters rights against creditors of the trustee as limited by this act.
SECTION V-(A).
When Valid and Enforceable. Between the entruster and the trustee the terms of the trust receipt shall, save as otherwise provided by this act, be valid and enforceable. But no provision for forfeiture of the trustees interest shall be valid except as provided in subdivision five of section V-(B).
SECTION V-(B).
Entruster, Possession, Etc. (1) The entruster shall be entitled as against the trustee to possession of the goods, documents or instruments on default and as may be otherwise specified in the trust receipt. (2) An entruster entitled to possession under the terms of the trust receipt or of subdivision one of this section may take such possession without legal process, whenever that is possible without breach of the peace. (3) (a) After possession taken, the entruster shall, subject to paragraph (b) of this subdivision and to subdivision five, hold such goods, documents or instruments with the rights and duties of a pledgee. (b) An entruster in possession may, on or after default, give notice to the trustee of intention to sell, and may, not less than five days after the serving or sending of such notice, sell the goods, documents or instruments for the trustees account at public or private sale, and may at a public sale himself become a purchaser. The proceeds of any such sale, whether public or private, shall be applied (i) to the payment of the expenses thereof, (ii) to the payment of the expenses of retaking, keeping and storing the goods, documents, or instruments, (iii) to the satisfaction of the trustees indebtedness. The trustee shall receive any surplus and shall be liable to the entruster for any deficiency. Notice of sale shall be deemed sufficiently given if in writing, and either (i) personally served on the trustee, or (ii) sent by postpaid ordinary mail to the trustees last-known business address. (c) A purchaser in good faith and for value from an entruster in possession takes free of the trustees interest, even in a case in which the entruster is liable to the trustee for conversion. (4) Surrender of the trustees interest to the entruster shall be valid on any terms upon which the trustee and the entruster may, after default, agree. (5) As to articles manufactured by style or model, the terms of the trust receipt may provide for forfeiture of the trustees interest at the election of the entruster, in the event of the trustees default, against cancelation of the trustees then remaining indebtedness; provided, that in the case of the original maturity of such an indebtedness there must be canceled not less than eighty per centum of the purchase price to the trustee, or of the original indebtedness, whichever is greater; or, in the case of a first renewal, not less than seventy per centum, or, in the case of a second or further renewal, not less than sixty per centum. |

of the trustees default, against cancelation of the trustees then remaining indebtedness; provided, that in the case of the original maturity of such an indebtedness there must be canceled not less than eighty per centum of the purchase price to the trustee, or of the original indebtedness, whichever is greater; or, in the case of a first renewal, not less than seventy per centum, or, in the case of a second or further renewal, not less than sixty per centum.
SECTION V-(C).
Entruster, Filing. (1) (a) If the entruster within the period of thirty days specified in subdivision one of section V-(D) files as in this title provided, such filing shall be effective to preserve his security interest in documents or goods against all persons, save as otherwise provided by section V-D, V-E, V-F, V-G, V-J, and V-K of this act. (b) Filing after lapse of the said period shall be valid; but in such event, save as provided in paragraph (b) of subdivision two of section V-E, the entrusters security interest shall be deemed to be created by the trustee as of the time of such filing, without relation back, as against all persons not having notice of such interest. (2) The taking of possession by the entruster shall, so long as such possession is retained, have the effect of filing, in the case of goods or documents; and of notice of the entrusters security interest to all persons in the case of instruments.
SECTION V-(D).
Validity of Entrusters Security Interest as Against Creditors of Trustee. (1) The entrusters security interest in goods, documents, or instruments under the written terms of a trust receipt transaction, shall without any filing be valid as against all creditors of the trustee, with or without notice, for thirty days after delivery of the goods, documents, or instruments to the trustee, and thereafter except as in this act otherwise provided. But where the trustee at the time of the trust receipt transaction has and retains instruments, the thirty days shall be reckoned from the time such instruments are actually shown to the entruster or from the time that the entruster gives new value under the transaction, whichever is prior. (2) Save as provided in subdivision (1) of this section, the entrusters security interest shall be void as against lien creditors who become such after such thirty-day period and without notice of such interest and before filing. (3) Where a creditor secures the issuance of process which within a reasonable time after such issuance results in attachment of or levy on the goods, he is deemed to have become a lien creditor as of the date of the issuance of the process. |

Purchasers of negotiable instruments |
(a) Unless prior to the acquisition of notice by all creditors filing has occurred or possession has been taken by the entruster, (i) an assignee for the benefit of creditors, from the time of assignment, or (ii) a receiver in equity from the time of his appointment, or (iii) a trustee in bankruptcy or judicial insolvency proceedings from the time of filing of the petition in bankruptcy or judicial insolvency by or against the trustee shall, on behalf of all creditors, stand in the position of a lien creditor without notice, without reference to whether he personally has or has not, in fact, notice of the entrusters interest.
SECTION V-(E).
Purchasers of Negotiable Instruments. (1) Purchasers of negotiable documents or instruments. (a) Nothing in this act shall limit the rights of purchasers in good faith and for value from the trustee of negotiable instruments or negotiable documents, and purchasers taking from the trustee for value, in good faith, and by transfer in the customary manner instruments in such form as are by common practice purchased and sold as if negotiable, shall hold such instruments free of the entrusters interest; and filing under this act shall not be deemed to constitute notice of the entrusters interest to purchasers in good faith and for value of such documents or instruments, other than transferees in bulk. (b) The entrusting (directly, by agent, or through the intervention of a third person) of goods, documents, or instruments by an entruster to a trustee, under a trust receipt transaction or a transaction falling within section IV of this act be equivalent to the like entrusting of any documents or instruments which the trustee may procure in substitution, or which represent the same goods or instruments or the proceeds thereof, and which the trustee negotiates to a purchaser in good faith and for value. (2) Where a purchaser from the trustee is not protected under subdivision one hereof, the following rules shall govern: (a) Sales by trustee in the ordinary course of trade. (i) Where the trustee, under the trust receipt transaction, has liberty of sale and sells to a buyer in the ordinary course of trade, whether before or after the expiration of the thirty-day period specified in subdivision one of section V-(D) of this act, and whether or not filing has taken place, such buyer takes free of the entrusters security interest in the goods so sold, and no filing shall constitute notice of the entrusters security interest to such a buyer. (ii) No limitation placed by the entruster on the liberty of sale granted to the trustee shall affect a buyer in the ordinary course of trade, unless the limitation is actually known to the latter. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 303 (CHAPTER 128, SB 20)κ
|
ordinary course of trade, unless the limitation is actually known to the latter. (b) Purchasers other than buyers in the ordinary course of trade. In the absence of filing, the entrusters security interest in goods shall be valid, as against purchasers, save as provided in this section; but any purchaser, not a buyer in the ordinary course of trade, who, in good faith and without notice of the entrusters security interest and before filing, either (i) gives new value before the expiration of the thirty-day period specified in subdivision one of section V-(D), or (ii) gives value after said period, and who in either event before filing also obtains delivery of goods from a trustee shall hold the subject matter of his purchase free of the entrusters security interest, but a transferee in bulk can take only under (ii) of this paragraph (b). (c) Liberty of sale. If the entruster consents to the placing of goods subject to a trust receipt transaction in the trustees stock in trade or in his sales or exhibition rooms, or allows such goods to be so placed or kept, such consent or allowance shall have like effect as granting the trustee liberty of sale. (3) As to all cases covered by this section the purchase of goods, documents or instruments on credit shall constitute a purchase for new value, but the entruster shall be entitled to any debt owing to the trustee and any security therefor, by reason of such purchase; except that the entrusters right shall be subject to any set-off or defense valid against the trustee and accruing before the purchaser has actual notice of the entrusters interest.
SECTION V-(F).
Accounting to Entruster. Where, under the terms of the trust receipt transaction, the trustee has no liberty of sale or other disposition, or having liberty of sale or other disposition, is to account to the entruster for the proceeds of any disposition of goods, documents or instruments, the entruster shall be entitled, to the extent to which and as against all classes of persons as to whom his security interest was valid at the time of disposition by the trustee, as follows: (a) To the debts described in subdivision three of section V-(E) hereof; and, also, (b) To any proceeds or the value of any proceeds (whether such proceeds are identifiable or not) of the goods, documents or instruments, if said proceeds were received by the trustee within ten days prior to either application for appointment of a receiver of the trustee, or the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or judicial insolvency proceedings by or against the trustee, or demand made by the entruster for prompt accounting; and to a priority to the amount of such proceeds or value; and, also,

for prompt accounting; and to a priority to the amount of such proceeds or value; and, also, (c) To any other proceeds of the goods, documents or instruments which are identifiable, unless the provision for accounting has been waived by the entruster by words or conduct; and knowledge by the entruster of the existence of proceeds, without demand for accounting made within ten days from such knowledge, shall be deemed such a waiver.
SECTION V-(G).
Specific Liens. Specific liens arising out of contractual acts of the trustee with reference to the processing, warehousing, shipping or otherwise dealing with specific goods in the usual course of the trustees business preparatory to their sale shall attach against the interest of the entruster in said goods as well as against the interest of the trustee, whether or not filing has occurred under this act, but this section shall not obligate the entruster personally for any debt secured by such lien; nor shall it be construed to include the lien of a landlord.
SECTION V-(H).
Security Interest. An entruster holding a security interest shall not, merely by virtue of such interest or of his having given the trustee liberty of sale or other disposition, be responsible as principal or as vendor under any sale or contract to sell by the trustee.
SECTION V-(I).
Entruster and Trustee, Statement. (1) Any entruster undertaking or contemplating trust receipt transactions with reference to documents or goods is entitled to file with the secretary of state a statement, signed by the entruster and the trustee, containing: (a) A designation of the entruster and the trustee, and of the chief place of business of each within this state, if any; and if the entruster has no place of business within the state; and (b) A statement that the entruster is engaged, or expects to be engaged, in financing under trust receipt transactions and acquisition of goods by the trustee; and (c) A description of the kind or kinds of goods covered or to be covered by such financing. (2) The following form of statement (or any other form of statement containing substantially the same information) shall suffice for the purposes of this act: |

(3) It shall be the duty of the filing officer to mark each statement filed with a consecutive file number, and with the date and hour of filing, and to keep such statement in a separate file; and to note and index the filing in a suitable index, indexed according to the name of the trustee and containing a notation of the trustees chief place of business as given in the statement. The fee for such filing shall be one dollar. (4) Presentation for filing of the statement described in subdivision one, and payment of the filing fee, shall constitute filing under this act, in favor of the entruster, as to any documents or goods falling within the description in the statement which are within one year from the date of such filing, or have been, within thirty days previous to such filing, the subject matter of a trust receipt transaction between the entruster and the trustee. (5) At any time before expiration of the validity of the filing, as specified in subdivision four, a like statement, or an affidavit by the entruster alone, setting out the information required by subdivision one, may be filed in like manner as the original filing. Any filing of such further statement or affidavit shall be valid in like manner and for like period as an original filing, and shall also continue the rank of the entrusters existing security interest as against all junior interests. It shall be the duty of the filing officer to mark, file, and index the further statement or affidavit in like manner as the original.
SECTION V-(J).
Security Interest, How Extensive. As against purchasers and creditors, the entrusters security interest may extend to any obligation for which the goods, documents, or instruments were security before the trust receipt transaction, and to any new value given or agreed to be given as a part of such transaction; but not, otherwise, to secure past indebtedness of the trustee; nor shall the obligation secured under any trust receipt transaction extend to obligations of the trustee to be subsequently created. |

are issued to the beneficiaries, investment trusts, voting trusts, insurance trusts prior to the death of the insured, trusts in the nature of mortgages or pledges, trusts created by judgment or decree of a federal court or a state court other than the district court acting in probate matters, liquidation trusts, or trust for the sole purpose of paying dividends, interest or interest coupons, salaries, wages or pensions. Sec. 2. Testamentary Trust Inventory. Within thirty days after it is the duty of the first qualifying testamentary trustee to take possession of the trust property he shall file with the district court where the will was admitted to probate an inventory under oath, showing by items all the trust property which shall have come to his possession or knowledge. Sec. 3. Intermediate Accountings. Within thirty days after the expiration of the first year after the first qualifying testamentary trustee was under a duty to file his inventory, as prescribed in section 2, the testamentary trustee then in office shall file with the district court of the county where the will was admitted to probate an intermediate account under oath covering such year and showing: (a) The period which the account covers; (b) The names and addresses of the living beneficiaries known to the trustee, with a statement as to those known to be minors or under legally declared disability; and a description of any possible unborn or unascertained beneficiaries; and the name of the surety or sureties on the trustees bond with the amount of such bond; (c) In a separate schedule the trust principal on hand at the beginning of the accounting period and the then status of its investment; the investments received from the settlor and still held; additions to trust principal during the accounting period with the dates and sources of acquisition; investments collected, sold or charged off during the accounting period, with the consequent loss or gain and whether credited to principal or income; investments made during the accounting period, with the date, source, and cost of each; deductions from principal during the accounting period, with the date and purpose of each; and trust principal on hand at the end of the accounting period, how invested, and the estimated market value of each investment; (d) In a separate schedule the trust income on hand at the beginning of the accounting period, and in what form held; trust income received during the accounting period, when, and from what source; trust income paid out during the accounting period, when, to whom, and for what purpose; trust income on hand at the end of the accounting period, and how invested; (e) That neither any seller of, nor buyer from, the trustee of trust property during the accounting period was at the time of such sale or purchase (1) in the case of a corporate trustee an affiliate, or any officer, employee, or nominee of the trustee or of an affiliate; or was (2) in the case of a non-corporate trustee a relative, partner, employer, employee, or business associate; but none of the provisions of this subsection shall apply to purchases and sales made by brokers for the trustee or to stock exchanges;

Within thirty days after the end of each yearly period thereafter during the life of the trust, the testamentary trustee then in office shall file with the same court an intermediate account under oath showing corresponding facts regarding the current accounting period. Sec. 4. Final Accounting. Within thirty days after the termination of every testamentary trust the trustee, and in the case of the transfer of the trusteeship due to the death, resignation, removal, dissolution, merger, or consolidation of a sole trustee, the successor in interest of the old trustee, shall file with the district court of the county where the will was admitted to probate a final account under oath, showing for the period since the filing of the last account the facts required by section 3 regarding intermediate accountings, and in case of termination of the trust, the distribution of the trust property which the accountant proposes to make. Sec. 5. Distribution Accounting. Within thirty days after the distribution of the trust property by the testamentary trustee he shall file in the court where the final account was filed a distribution account of the trust property which he has distributed and the receipts of the distributees. Sec. 6. Procedure on Intermediate Accountings. Every testamentary trustee who files an intermediate account in court shall within ten days after such filing deliver to each known beneficiary a notice of such filing, and if there is to be no court hearing on the account a summary of the account with an offer to deliver the full account on demand, or if there is to be a court hearing on the account a copy of the account. Such delivery may be (1) by handing the notice or copy to the beneficiary personally, or to his guardian, or attorney of record; or (2) by sending it by registered mail with return receipt requested to such beneficiary, or his guardian or attorney of record, at the last known address of the addressee. |

of the addressee. Any beneficiary or the trustees may petition the court for a hearing on any intermediate account, and the holding of such a hearing shall be in the discretion of the court. In the case of the third intermediate accounting, and every three years thereafter, the trustee shall apply to the court for a hearing on and approval of all unapproved accounts, and shall give each known beneficiary written notice of such application at least five days before the return day thereof, in the manner prescribed for the delivery of the copy of the account. The return day of the application for a hearing on an intermediate accounting shall be at least five days after the latest account was filed. The notice by the trustee of the application for a hearing on and approval of the account shall inform the beneficiaries of the amount of commissions or other compensation to be requested by the trustee on such hearing, and the amount of other fees which the court will then be requested to allow. Sec. 7. Service of Papers in Final Accounting. At least ten days before the return day of a final accounting, the testamentary trustee shall deliver to each beneficiary a copy of the account and a notice of the time and place at which the account will be presented for approval, which date shall not be earlier than ten days after the account was filed. Such delivery may be accomplished in the same manner as with regard to the service of papers on the intermediate accounting. The notice shall inform the beneficiaries of the amount of commissions or other compensation to be requested by the trustee on the application for approval of the account, and the amount of other fees which the court will then be requested to allow. Sec. 8. Vouchers. When an intermediate or final account is presented for consideration in court the testamentary trustee shall produce in court vouchers for all expenditures of $20 or more, made by the trustee during the accounting period. Where the account is accompanied by a report of a certified public accountant, or a certified public accountant upon hearing of any account testifies that all expenditures of $20 or more made by the trustee during the accounting period are supported by vouchers, then it shall not be necessary to produce the vouchers in court. When vouchers are produced upon a hearing the same shall be returned to the trustee after the account is approved. Sec. 9. Representation. Any beneficiary who is a minor, of unsound mind, or otherwise legally incompetent, and also possible unborn or unascertained beneficiaries may be represented in a testamentary trust accounting by the court, or by competent living members of the class to which they do or would belong, or by a guardian ad litem, as the court deems best. If the residence of any beneficiary is unknown, or there is doubt as to the existence of one or more persons as beneficiaries, the court shall make such provision for service of notice and representation on the accounting as it believes proper. |

or there is doubt as to the existence of one or more persons as beneficiaries, the court shall make such provision for service of notice and representation on the accounting as it believes proper. Sec. 10. Court Action. On the return day of an application for a hearing on and approval of an intermediate or final account the testamentary trustee shall file an affidavit proving the timely delivery to the known beneficiaries of the documents required by the act or by court order. The procedure as to filing of objections, examination of the trustee and other witnesses, inspection of the trust property, adjournments, reference to a master or other representative of the court, amendment of the account, and similar matters, shall be in the discretion of the court. The court shall, as soon as practicable, act upon the account, and discharge the trustee if the account is an approved distribution account. Sec. 11. Effect of Court Approval. The approval by the court of a testamentary trustees account after due notice and service of papers or representation as provided in this act shall, subject to the right of appeal, relieve the trustee and his sureties from liability to all beneficiaries then known or in being, or who thereafter become known or in being, for all the trustees acts and omissions which are fully and accurately described in the account, including the then investment of the trust funds. The court may disapprove the account and surcharge the trustee for any loss caused by a breach of trust committed by him. The account may be reopened by the court on motion of the trustee or a beneficiary, for amendment or revision, if it later appears that the account is incorrect, either because of fraud or mistake. Court approvals or disapprovals of intermediate or final accounts shall be deemed final judgments insofar as the right of appeal is concerned. No account shall be reopened because of a mistake more than one year after its approval. No beneficiary may move for the reopening of any account because of fraud more than ninety days after he discovers the existence of the fraud. Sec. 12. Inventory by Nontestamentary Trustee. Within thirty days after it is the duty of the first qualifying trustee of a nontestmentary trust to take possession of the trust property he shall file in the office of the clerk of the district court in the county where the trust was created a notice of his appointment as trustee, a copy of the instrument creating the trust, if the trust was created by a writing, a list of the names, addresses, and dates of birth of the known living beneficiaries, a description of any possible unborn or unascertained beneficiaries, and an inventory under oath of the trust property which shall have come to his possession or knowledge. |
κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 319 (CHAPTER 135, SB 18)κ
|
Sec. 13. Acounting by Nontestamentary Trustee. Every nontestamentary trustee shall file intermediate, final, and distribution accounts with the clerk of the district court in the county where the trust was created, at the same intervals, under the same conditions, and with the same effect as herein provided with respect to the accountings of a testamentary trustee in the district court. Sec. 14. Duties of Court and Clerks. The clerks of the district courts shall severally keep records of all trust inventories and accounts filed with their respective courts, and shall, within thirty days after the filing should have occurred, notify the respective judges of their courts of all failures by trustees to file accounts in accordance with this act. Such courts shall, upon learning that a trustee subject to their respective jurisdictions has failed to perform any duty placed upon him by this act, issue a citation or order to the trustee requiring him to perform such duty. Sec. 15. Power of Settlor. The provisions of this act shall have no application to nontestamentary trusts unless the settlor shall expressly so declare in the instrument creating the trust. But no expression of intent by any settlor shall affect the jurisdiction of the courts of this state over inventories and accounts of trustees, insofar as such jurisdiction does not depend upon the provisions of this act. Sec. 16. Power of Beneficiary. Any beneficiary, if of full age and sound mind, may, if acting upon full information, by written instrument delivered to the trustee, excuse the trustee as to such beneficiary from performing any of the duties imposed on him by this act or exempt the trustee from liability to such beneficiary for failure to perform any of the duties imposed upon the trustee by the terms of this act. Sec. 17. Accountability at Other Times. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to abridge the power of any court of competent jurisdiction to require testamentary or nontestamentary trustees to file an inventory, to account, to exhibit the trust property, or to give beneficiaries information or the privilege of inspection of trust records and papers, at times other than those herein prescribed; and nothing herein contained shall be construed to abridge the power of such court for cause shown to excuse a trustee from performing any or all of the duties imposed on him by this act. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the trustee from accounting voluntarily when it is reasonably necessary, even though he is not required to do so by this act or by court order. Sec. 18. Enforcement. Any beneficiary may apply to the district court having jurisdiction over the accountings, as prescribed in this act, for an order requiring the trustee to perform the duties imposed upon him by this act. |

1. Person means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint stock company, a business trust, an unincorporated organization, or two or more persons having a joint or common interest. 2. Trustee means the person holding property in trust and includes trustees, corporate as well as a natural person, and a successor or substitute trustee. 3. Relative means a spouse, ancestor, descendant, brother, or sister. 4. Affiliate means any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by another person, or any person under direct or indirect common control with another person. It includes any person with whom a trustee has an express or implied agreement regarding the purchase of trust investments by each from the other, directly or indirectly, except a broker or stock exchange. 5. Trust means an express trust only. Sec. 2. Loan of Trust Funds. Except as provided in section 3, no corporate trustee shall lend trust funds to itself or an affiliate, or to any director, officer, or employee of itself or of an affiliate; nor shall any noncorporate trustee lend trust funds to himself, or to his relative, employer, employee, partner, or other business associate. Sec. 3. Corporate Trustee Depositing Trust Funds With Self. 1. A corporate trustee which is subject to regulation and supervision by state or federal authorities may deposit with itself trust funds which are being held necessarily pending investment, distribution, or the payment of debts, provided it pays into the trust for such deposit such interest as it is required by statute to pay on uninvested trust funds, or, if there be no such statute, the same rate of interest it pays upon similar nontrust deposits, and maintains in its trust department as security for all such deposits a separate fund consisting of securities legal for trust investments and at all times equal in total market value to the amount of the deposits. But no such security shall be required to the extent that the deposit is insured or given a preference by any state or federal law. 2. The separate fund of securities shall be marked as such. Withdrawals from or additions to it may be made from time to time, as long as the required value is maintained. The income of such securities shall belong to the corporate trustee. In all statements of its financial condition published, or delivered to the superintendent of banks, such corporate trustee shall show as separate items the amount of trust funds which it has deposited with itself and the amount of securities which it holds as security for the payment of such deposits. Sec. 4. Trustee Buying from or Selling to Self. No trustee shall directly or indirectly buy or sell any property for the trust from or to itself or an affiliate; or from or to a director, officer, or employee of such trustee or of an affiliate; or from or to a relative, employer, partner, or other business associate of a trustee, except with the approval of the district court having jurisdiction of the trust estate and of the accounting thereof. |

trustee shall directly or indirectly buy or sell any property for the trust from or to itself or an affiliate; or from or to a director, officer, or employee of such trustee or of an affiliate; or from or to a relative, employer, partner, or other business associate of a trustee, except with the approval of the district court having jurisdiction of the trust estate and of the accounting thereof. Sec. 5. Trustee Selling from One Trust to Another Trust. No trustee shall as trustee of one trust sell property to itself as trustee of another trust except with the approval of the district court having jurisdiction of the trust estate and of the accounting thereof. Sec. 6. Corporate Trustee Buying Its Own Stock. No corporate trustee shall purchase for a trust shares of its own stock, or its bonds or other securities, or the stock, bonds or other securities of an affiliate. Sec. 7. Voting Stock. A trustee owning corporate stock may vote it by proxy, but shall be liable for any loss resulting to the beneficiaries from a failure to use reasonable care in deciding how to vote the stock and in voting it. Sec. 8. Holding Stock in Name of Nominee. A trustee owning stock may hold it in the name of a nominee, without mention of the trust in the stock certificate or stock registration books; provided, that (1) the trust records and all reports or accounts rendered by the trustee clearly show the ownership of the stock by the trustee and the facts regarding its holding; and (2) the nominee shall deposit with the trustee a signed statement showing the trust ownership, shall endorse the stock certificate in blank, and shall not have possession of the stock certificate or access thereto except under the immediate supervision of the trustee. The trustee shall be personally liable for any loss to the trust resulting from any act of such nominee in connection with stock so held. Sec. 9. Powers Attached to Office. Unless it is otherwise provided by the trust instrument, or an amendment thereof, or by court order, all owners of a trustee shall be attached to the office and shall not be personal. Sec. 10. Powers Exercisable by Majority. 1. Unless it is otherwise provided by the trust instrument, or an amendment thereof, or by court order, any power vested in three or more trustees may be exercised by a majority of such trustees; but no trustee who has not joined in exercising a power shall be liable to the beneficiaries or to others for the consequences of such exercise, nor shall a dissenting trustee be liable for the consequences of an act in which he joins at the direction of the majority trustees, if he expressed his dissent in writing to any of his cotrustees at or before the time of such joinder. |

2. Nothing in this section shall excuse a cotrustee from liability for inactivity in the administration of the trust nor for failure to attempt to prevent a breach of trust. Sec. 11. Contracts of Trustee. 1. Whenever a trustee shall make a contract which is within his powers as trustee, or a predecessor trustee shall have made such a contract, and a cause of action shall arise thereon, the party in whose favor the cause of action has accrued may sue the trustee in his representative capacity, and any judgment rendered in such action in favor of the plaintiff shall be collectible out of the trust property. In such an action the plaintiff need not prove that the trustee could have secured reimbursement from the trust fund if he had paid the plaintiffs claim. 2. No judgment shall be rendered in favor of the plaintiff in such action unless he proves that within thirty days after the beginning of such action, or within such other time as the court may fix, and more than thirty days prior to obtaining the judgment, he notified each of the beneficiaries known to the trustee who then had a present interest, or in the case of a charitable trust the attorney-general and any corporation which is a beneficiary or agency in the performance of such charitable trust, of the existence and nature of the action. Such notice shall be given by mailing copies thereof in postpaid envelopes addressed to the parties to be notified at their last known addresses. The trustee shall furnish the plaintiff a list of the parties to be notified, and their addresses, within ten days after written demand therefor, and notification of the persons on such list shall constitute compliance with the duty placed on the plaintiff by this section. Any beneficiary, or in the case of charitable trusts the attorney-general and any corporation which is a beneficiary or agency in the performance of such charitable trust, may intervene in such action and contest the right of the plaintiff to recover. 3. The plaintiff may also hold the trustee who made the contract personally liable on such contract, if the contract does not exclude such personal liability. The addition of the word trustee or the words as trustee after the signature of a trustee to a contract shall be deemed prima facie evidence of an intent to exclude the trustee from personal liability. Sec. 12. Exoneration or Reimbursement for Torts. 1. A trustee who has incurred personal liability for a tort committed in the administration of the trust is entitled to exoneration therefor from the trust property if he has not discharged the claim, or to be reimbursed therefor out of trust funds if he has paid the claim, if (1) the tort was a common incident of the kind of business activity in which the trustee was properly engaged for the trust, or (2) although the tort was not a common incident of such activity, if neither the trustee nor any officer or employee of the trustee was guilty of personal fault in incurring the liability. |

was properly engaged for the trust, or (2) although the tort was not a common incident of such activity, if neither the trustee nor any officer or employee of the trustee was guilty of personal fault in incurring the liability. 2. If a trustee commits a tort which increases the value of the trust property, he shall be entitled to exoneration or reimbursement with respect thereto to the extent of such increase in value, even though he would not otherwise be entitled to exoneration or reimbursement. 3. Nothing in this section shall be construed to change the existing law with regard to the liability of trustees of charitable trusts for torts of themselves or their employees. Sec. 13. Tort Liability of Trust Estate. 1. Where a trustee or his predecessor has incurred personal liability for a tort committed in the course of his administration, the trustee in his representative capacity may be sued and collection had from the trust property, if the court shall determine in such action that (1) the tort was a common incident of the kind of business activity in which the trustee or his predecessor was properly engaged for the trust; or (2) that, although the tort was not a common incident of such activity, neither the trustee nor his predecessor, nor any officer or employee of the trustee or his predecessor, was guilty of personal fault in incurring the liability; or (3) that, although the tort did not fall within classes (1) or (2) above, it increased the value of the trust property. If the tort is within classes (1) or (2) above, collection may be had of the full amount of damage proved; and if the tort is within class (3) above, collection may be had only to the extent of the increase in the value of the trust property. 2. In an action against the trustee in his representative capacity under this section the plaintiff need not prove that the trustee could have secured reimbursement from the trust fund if he had paid the plaintiffs claim. 3. No judgment shall be rendered in favor of the plaintiff in such action unless he proves that within thirty days after the beginning of the action, or within such other period as the court may fix, and more than thirty days prior to obtaining the judgment, he notified each of the beneficiaries known to the trustee who then had a present interest of the existence and nature of the action. Such notice shall be given by mailing copies thereof in postpaid envelopes addressed to such beneficiaries at their last known addresses. The trustee shall furnish the plaintiff a list of such beneficiaries and their addresses, within ten days after written demand therefor, and notification of the persons on such list shall constitute compliance with the duty placed on the plaintiff by this section. Any beneficiary may intervene in such action and contest the right of the plaintiff to recover. |

4. The trustee may also be held personally liable for any tort committed by him, or by his agents or employees in the course of their employments, subject to the rights of exoneration or reimbursement provided in section 12. 5. Nothing in this section shall be construed to change the existing law with regard to the liability of trustees of charitable trusts for torts of themselves or their employees. Sec. 14. Withdrawals from Mingled Trust Funds. Where a person who is a trustee of two or more trusts has mingled the funds of two or more trusts in the same aggregate of cash, or in the same bank or brokerage account or other investment, and a withdrawal is made therefrom by the trustee for his own benefit, or for the benefit of a third person not a beneficiary or creditor of one or more of the trusts, or for an unknown purpose, such a withdrawal shall be charged first to the amount of cash, credit, or other property of the trustee in the mingled fund, if any, and after the exhaustion of the trustees cash, credit, or other property, then to the several trusts in proportion to their several interests in the cash, credit, or other property at the time of the withdrawal. Sec. 15. Power of Settlor. The settlor of any trust affected by this act may, by provision in the instrument creating the trust if the trust was created by a writing, or by oral statement to the trustee at the time of the creation of the trust if the trust was created orally, or by an amendment of the trust if the settlor reserved the power to amend the trust, relieve his trustee from any or all of the duties, restrictions, and liabilities which would otherwise be imposed upon him by this act; or alter or deny to his trustee any or all of the privileges and powers conferred upon the trustee by this act; or add duties, restrictions, liabilities, privileges, or powers, to those imposed or granted by this act; but no act of the settlor shall relieve a trustee from the duties, restrictions, and liabilities imposed upon him by sections 2, 3, and 4 of this act. Sec. 16. Power of Beneficiary. Any beneficiary of the trust affected by this act may, if of full legal capacity and acting upon full information, by written instrument delivered to the trustee, relieve the trustee as to such beneficiary from any or all of the duties, restrictions, and liabilities which would otherwise be imposed on the trustee by this act, except as to the duties, restrictions, and liabilities imposed by sections 2, 3, and 4 of this act. Any such beneficiary may release the trustee from liability to such beneficiary for past violations of any of the provisions of this act. Sec. 17. Power of the Court. A court of competent jurisdiction may, for cause shown and upon notice to the beneficiaries, relieve a trustee from any or all of the duties and restrictions which would otherwise be placed upon him by this act, or wholly or partly excuse a trustee who has acted honestly and reasonably from liability for violation of the provisions of this act. |

2. To purchase, lease or otherwise acquire, hold, own, and enjoy; to sell, lease, mortgage, and otherwise encumber and dispose of any and all and every kind of real and personal property; also, to carry on any and all operations necessary or convenient in connection with the transactions of any of its business. To enter into all contracts deemed advisable with members of others requiring them to market their products, or the byproducts thereof, to or through the association, by which it may act as a sole agent for the member, or by which it may purchase said products or the byproducts thereof, and by which it may pool the products so handled by it, and to enjoin a breach or threatened breach of such contract.

[Approved March 28, 1941]
Whereas, The population of Carson City, state capital and county seat of Ormsby County, comprises approximately eighty percent of the population of Ormsby County and has increased in the last census period approximately fifty percent; and Whereas, By reason of such increase and additional housing and the needs and demands of the offices and departments of the state government the sewer system of Carson City is inadequate; and Whereas, By reason of such inadequacy, consisting of, among other things, an insufficiency in the size, extent and distribution of sewer lines and an insufficiency of outlet facilities due to the slope of the ground and the level of the present outlet territory, a grave danger to the public health now exists and has been declared to exist by the public health authorities of this state, and immediate extensions and improvements of said system are now indispensable and are imperatively demanded; now, therefore,
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. The board of trustees of Carson City, Nevada, are hereby authorized to borrow money in the name of the city by means of an emergency loan or loans approved by the state board of finance in an amount not exceeding twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) and to use the proceeds to pay all or a part of the cost of and to make extensions and improvements in the sewer system of Carson City, Nevada.

[Approved March 28, 1941]
Whereas, Carson City, Nevada, the seat of government, is without adequate sewage disposal facilities, and this condition constitutes a grave menace to the public health and a sewage disposal plant for said city is presently necessary and indispensable; and Whereas, Such a plant would largely benefit the offices, departments, and institutions of the State of Nevada located at and near Carson City, and its lack is a grave danger and detriment to the same and those persons serving the same; and Whereas, Carson City is contemplating the construction and establishment of such a plant, the authorization of an issue of municipal bonds and other financial measures to pay for the same, and the cooperation and sharing by the State of Nevada in this project is desirable and just; now, therefore,
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. There is hereby appropriated out of any money in the general fund of the State of Nevada not otherwise appropriated the sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) for the purposes of this act. Sec. 2. The state controller shall draw his warrant or warrants in favor of Carson City in the amount not exceeding the said sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) and the state treasurer shall pay the same; provided, however, as follows: (1) That no warrant for any sum shall be drawn or paid unless, before the 15th day of July 1941, the president of the board of trustees, with the attest of the city clerk and treasurer, shall certify that Carson City has been authorized to incur an indebtedness for the purposes of this act and to issue bonds of Carson City in evidence thereof to an amount not less than forty-eight thousand dollars ($48,000) by virtue of an election by the electors of Carson City, Nevada, according to law, and shall deliver such certificate to the state controller; and

Sec. 3. It is hereby declared by the legislature that the appropriation hereby made in this act (subject to the condition in this act provided) is for the purpose of paying and granting financial aid to Carson City for the construction and establishment of a sewage disposal plant at or near Carson City and for the preservation of the public health.

Sec. 4. No part of the appropriation made in this act shall ever be used by Carson City for any purpose other than for the purpose of paying a part of the cost of such sewage disposal plant. Sec. 5. Within 60 days after any of the money herein appropriated is paid to Carson City, that city shall proceed to the construction and establishment of such sewage disposal plant and shall diligently prosecute such work to completion at the earliest time practicable.

The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Any adult person of this state may petition the district court in the county of his residence for leave to adopt a minor child; but no such petition by a married person shall be granted unless the husband or wife join therein, excepting that when such petitioner shall be married to the natural father or mother of such a child then such joinder by such father or mother shall be deemed unnecessary. Sec. 2. Upon the filing of a petition for the adoption of a minor child, the petition shall be filed in duplicate with the county clerk. The clerk shall thereupon notify the state welfare department of the filing of the petition and shall transmit the duplicate copy of said petition to said department. It shall then be the duty of the said department to verify the allegations and to investigate the condition and antecedents of the child for the purpose of ascertaining whether he is a proper subject for adoption; to make appropriate inquiry to determine whether the proposed adopting home is a suitable home for the child. The department shall within thirty days, unless its time is extended by the court, submit to the court a full written report with the recommendation as to the granting of the said petition and shall furnish to the court any other information regarding the child or the proposed home which the court may require. No adoption petition shall be approved by the court until the court considers the report and recommendation of the said department. No petition for adoption shall be approved until the child shall have lived for a period of six months in the proposed home. Sec. 3. Except as otherwise specified in this section, no adoption shall be permitted except with a written consent duly acknowledged by the living parents of a child, or of the mother of a child born out of wedlock. In the case of a child fourteen years of age or over, the consent of such child shall be required and must be given in writing in the presence of the court. Where the parent or guardian relinquishes a child for adoption to a recognized organization, institution or society of this or another state, or to the state department of welfare, which relinquishment is recognized by law, it shall not be necessary, in adopting said child, to obtain the permission of the parent or guardian who has relinquished the said child. |

Consent shall not be required of parents whose parental rights have been terminated by order of a juvenile or other court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that in such case adoption shall be permitted only on consent of the guardian of said child. If such child has no living parent, adoption shall be permitted on consent of the legal guardian of the child, or if there is no guardian, by the juvenile court. In all cases arising under the provisions of this section the court may cite the representative of the child welfare department to make the investigation and report the result thereof to the court, and the court in ordering an adoption may take into consideration such matters as may have been obtained through the child welfare department. In a case where a father or mother deserts a child without provision for his identification, the adoption shall not be permitted without the consent of the guardian. Sec. 4. If the court shall be satisfied that the facts stated in the petition are true, that the petitioners are of good moral character and of reputable standing in the community and of ability properly to maintain and educate the child sought to be adopted, that the best interests of such child would be promoted by adoption, that such child is suitable for adoption, that all required consents have been given and that all legal requirements relative to adoption have been complied with, then the court shall make an order that from and after the date thereof such child shall be deemed to all legal intents and purposes the child of the petitioners. In such order the name of the child may be changed to that of the parents by adoption. Such order shall set forth all jurisdictional facts. After entry of such order the clerk of the court shall promptly report to the state registrar of vital statistics full information as to the prior name, date, and place of birth, and known natural parents of the child and the name, address, and occupation of the parents by adoption, the new name of the child, if any, and the date of the order of adoption and court issuing the same. Sec. 5. A child so adopted shall be deemed, for the purpose of inheritance and succession and for all other legal consequences and incidents of the natural relation of parents and children, the same to all intents and purposes as if the child had been born in lawful wedlock of such parents by adoption, excepting that such child shall not be capable of taking property expressly limited to the heirs of the body of such parents. The adoptive parents of such child and their heirs and next of kin shall be deemed for the purposes of inheritance and succession by such parents, their heirs and next of kin, the same to all intents and purposes as if such child had been born in lawful wedlock of such parents by adoption, and they shall take in accordance with the general statutory provisions regulating inheritance and succession as between a parent and a child dying without issue. |

No person having charge of any birth or adoption records shall disclose the names of any adopted parents appearing in such records or furnish a certified copy of any such records except upon order of the district court of the county in which the adoption took place. Sec. 7. A subsequent adoption is authorized by this chapter, and in such case the words father, mother, or parent include father, mother, or parent by adoption. Sec. 8.

κ1941 Statutes of Nevada, Page 366 (CHAPTER 158, AB 199)κ

Apportionment of school moneys |
First-He shall ascertain from the report of such consolidated school district for the last preceding school year the number of teachers to which the consolidated school district is entitled, by calculating for each component school district comprising the consolidated school district one teacher for the first twenty pupils in average daily attendance or such less number of pupils in average daily attendance as allowed by law for the maintenance of a school, and one additional teacher for each twenty pupils or major fraction of twenty pupils in average daily attendance; provided, that a consolidated district having a total average daily attendance of from twenty to thirty, inclusive, for the last preceding school year shall be allowed a two-teacher apportionment if there are children attending school from two or more of the districts comprising the consolidated district, in the event that the total teacher apportionment for all the component districts of the consolidated district is only one; provided, however, that if the consolidated district has a total average daily attendance of from twenty to thirty, inclusive, for the last preceding school year, all of whom are from one district of the consolidated district, then such district shall be allowed an extra teacher only if such school has regularly employed two teachers since the last preceding semiannual school apportionment; provided, however, that when three or more school districts have formed a consolidated district and the average daily attendance in the district is insufficient to provide a two-teacher apportionment for the consolidated district if children have been in average daily attendance for the preceding school year in the consolidated school from more than one of the component districts, a two-teacher apportionment shall be allowed the consolidated district notwithstanding the above provisions of this act. Second-In determining the number of teachers that the consolidated district is entitled to receive state and county moneys upon, according to the law governing the apportionment of state and county school moneys to the several school districts of the state, the superintendent of public instruction shall add together the teachers thus found in the several districts comprising the consolidated district; provided, that such number of teachers shall in no case be less than would be apportioned if all attendance in the component districts came from a single district. Third-Pupil apportionments to the school districts, comprising a consolidated school district, shall be made under the provisions of subparagraph 3(b), section 5798 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929; provided, however, that when the average daily attendance of any component district of a consolidated school district falls below three for the last preceding school year such component district will be entitled to receive pupil apportionments from state and county funds. |
