Here are the Nevada law requirements for persons in possession of a Will after death:
NRS 136.050 Delivery of will after death; liability for nondelivery.
1. Any person having possession of a will shall, within 30 days after knowledge of the death of the person who executed the will, deliver it to the clerk of the district court which has jurisdiction of the case or to the personal representative named in the will.
2. Any person named as personal representative in a will shall, within 30 days after the death of the testator, or within 30 days after knowledge of being named, present the will, if in possession of it, to the clerk of the court.
3. Every person who neglects to perform any of the duties required in subsections 1 and 2 without reasonable cause is liable to every person interested in the will for the damages the interested person may sustain by reason of the neglect.
[2:107:1941; 1931 NCL § 9882.02] + [3:107:1941; 1931 NCL § 9882.03] + [4:107:1941; 1931 NCL § 9882.04]—(NRS A 1999, 2263)
