Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 153.070 — Expenses and compensation of trustees, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 153.070. Expenses and compensation of trustees
The expenses and compensation of a trustee of a testamentary trust must initially
be governed by the terms of the will which created the testamentary trust or as otherwise
ordered by the court at the time the testamentary trust is established. Thereafter, subject to any contrary terms of the testamentary trust or an order
of the court, the court shall allow the trustee his or her proper expenses and such
compensation for services as are just and reasonable. Where there are several trustees, compensation must be apportioned among the trustees
according to the respective services rendered, and such compensation may be a fixed
yearly compensation for each trustee, a set amount for the term of service, an hourly
rate for services rendered or pursuant to a standard schedule of fees. The provisions of this section must not be interpreted to abridge the authority
of a court having jurisdiction over a testamentary trust pursuant to NRS 153.020 or 164.010 to review and settle the expenses and compensation of the trustee of a testamentary
trust upon the petition of any interested person.
