Nevada § 165.143 - Petition to review trustee’s rejection of written demand for account; time to file; notice; hearing

§ 165.143. Petition to review trustee’s rejection of written demand for account; time to file; notice; hearing

1. A beneficiary whose demand for an account in compliance with NRS 165.141 is rejected or deemed rejected must file a petition seeking the court's review of

the trustee's rejection within 60 days after the rejection date as described in subsection

2 and is thereafter barred from further right to demand an account for the period

subject to the demand. A petition filed pursuant to this section may also seek additional relief pursuant

to NRS 153.031 , 164.015 and 164.030 . 2. If the trustee rejects the beneficiary's demand for an account, the rejection date

is the date on which the trustee provides the beneficiary with a notice of rejection. If the trustee fails to accept or reject the beneficiary's demand, the rejection

date is deemed to be 14 days after the beneficiary delivered the demand to the trustee. 3. If the court has not previously accepted jurisdiction over the trust pursuant to NRS 164.010 , the beneficiary must petition the court to confirm the appointment of the trustee

pursuant to NRS 164.010 and to admit the trust to the jurisdiction of the court. Such a petition may be combined with the petition for the court's review of the

trustee's rejection. 4. The clerk shall set the petition for hearing, and the petitioner shall give notice

to all interested persons for the period and in the manner provided in NRS 155.010 . The notice must state the filing of the petition, the object and the time and place

of the hearing. 5. If one or more other beneficiaries with interests substantially similar to the

petitioner request to join the petition at or before the hearing, the court shall

consider the other beneficiaries to be additional petitioners without requiring those

beneficiaries to file separate petitions or to give separate notices of the hearing. 6. At the hearing, as to each petitioner, the court may enter an order: (a) Compelling the trustee to provide an account to the petitioner and specifying

the nature and extent of the account to be provided; (b) Declaring that the petitioner is not entitled to an account and setting forth

the reason or reasons the petitioner is not so entitled; or (c) Compelling the trustee to provide an account to the petitioner as described in

paragraph (a) and authorizing an independent review of the account using the procedure

set forth in NRS 165.145 . 7. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of NRS 153.031 , each petitioner shall pay his or her own expenses, including, without limitation,

attorney's fees, that arise in conjunction with filing a petition pursuant to this

section.
