Nevada Revised Statutes Title 12. Wills and Estates of Deceased Persons § 156.220. Final distribution; conclusive presumption of death

1. If no claims are made during the 1-year period by any person claiming to be the missing person or a person claiming to have succeeded to the rights of that person, a conclusive presumption arises that the missing person died before the filing of the petition for the administration of the estate of the missing person or the probate of his or her will.

2. In such event, the estate must be finally distributed accordingly, so far as the same has not already been accomplished, and the court shall order the estate closed and all liability of sureties, the personal representative and the distributees ended, and all bonds cancelled.
