Understanding Estate Planning in Nevada: What Assets can be Included in a Will?

Planning for the future is an essential part of ensuring your loved ones are taken care of after you pass away. Estate planning allows you to dictate how your assets are distributed and who will be responsible for carrying out your wishes. In Nevada, there are specific guidelines regarding what assets can be included in a will. At Magliarditi Law Firm, we assist Las Vegas residents with estate planning matters, including drafting wills that accurately reflect their wishes.


Real Estate: One of the most common types of assets included in a will is real estate property. This can include your primary residence, vacation homes, rental properties, or commercial real estate. In your will, you can specify who should inherit each property and any conditions attached to the inheritance.


Personal Property: Personal belongings such as furniture, jewelry, artwork, vehicles, and family heirlooms can also be included in your will. These items may hold sentimental value to your loved ones and specifying who should receive them can prevent disputes among family members after you pass away.


Financial Assets: Bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, and life insurance policies are all considered financial assets that can be included in a will. You can designate beneficiaries for these accounts and specify how they should be distributed among your heirs.


Business Interests: If you own a business or have shares in a company, you can outline how these interests should be handled in your will. This ensures that the business continues to operate smoothly after your passing and that ownership is transferred according to your wishes.


Digital Assets: In today's digital age, it's important to consider what will happen to your online accounts and digital assets when you pass away. You can include instructions for accessing and managing these accounts in your will to ensure that they are handled appropriately.


Estate planning is a crucial step in securing the future of your loved ones and ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. In Nevada, there are various types of assets that can be included in a will, ranging from real estate and personal property to financial assets and business interests. At Magliarditi Law Firm, we understand the importance of comprehensive estate planning and offer our expertise to help Las Vegas residents navigate this process with ease.
