Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 111.767 — Rights of designated beneficiaries; transfer of property when no beneficiary survives owner, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 111.767. Rights of designated beneficiaries; transfer of property when no beneficiary survives owner
1. Before the death of the owner, a designated beneficiary has no rights in the property
by reason of the beneficiary designation and the signature or agreement of the beneficiary
is not required for any transaction respecting the property. 2. On the death of one of two or more joint owners, property with respect to which
a beneficiary designation has been made belongs to the surviving joint owner or owners
and the right of survivorship continues as between two or more surviving joint owners. 3. On the death of a sole owner, property passes by operation of law to the beneficiary. 4. If two or more beneficiaries survive, there is no right of survivorship among the
beneficiaries in the event of the death of a beneficiary thereafter unless the beneficiary
designation expressly provides for survivorship among them and, unless so expressly
provided, surviving beneficiaries hold their separate interests in the property as
tenants in common. The share of any subsequently deceased beneficiary belongs to that beneficiary's
estate. 5. If no beneficiary survives the owner, the property belongs to the estate of the
owner.
