Transfer-on-death deeds for a home in Nevada
Nevada's version of a transfer-on-death deed is called a "deed upon death." In Nevada, if the owner records more than one deed upon death for the same property, the last one recorded before death is the one that counts. In Nevada, making or revoking a deed upon death requires the same capacity as making a will.
