§ 163.418. Clear and convincing evidence required to find settlor to be alter ego of trustee of irrevocable trust; certain factors insufficient for finding that settlor controls or is alter ego of trustee of irrevocable trust
Absent clear and convincing evidence, a settlor of an irrevocable trust shall not
be deemed to be the alter ego of a trustee of an irrevocable trust. If a party asserts that a settlor of an irrevocable trust is the alter ego of a
trustee of the trust, the following factors, alone or in combination, are not sufficient
evidence for a court to find that the settlor controls or is the alter ego of a trustee: 1. The settlor has signed checks, made disbursements or executed other documents related
to the trust as the trustee and the settlor is not a trustee, if the settlor has done
so in isolated incidents. 2. The settlor has made requests for distributions on behalf of a beneficiary. 3. The settlor has made requests for the trustee to hold, purchase or sell any trust
property. 4. The settlor has engaged in any one of the activities, alone or in combination,
listed in NRS 163.4177 .
