Nevada Revised Statutes Title 12. Wills and Estates of Deceased Persons § 137.010. Proceedings preliminary to trial

1. The Attorney General or any interested person, including a devisee under a former will, may contest the will by filing written grounds of opposition to the probate thereof at any time before the hearing of the petition for probate. Personal notice must then be given by a citation directed to the heirs of the decedent and to all interested persons, including minors and incapacitated persons, wherever residing, directing them to plead to the contest within 30 days after service of the citation in the manner provided in NRS 155.050.

2. A person so served may interpose any defense or objection to the contest by any motion authorized by the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure in civil actions. If the motion is granted, the court may allow the contestant 10 days within which to amend the contest. If the motion is denied, the petitioner and other interested persons, within 10 days after the receipt of written notice thereof, may jointly or separately answer the contest. The times specified in this section may be extended by the court.
