§ 40.100. Action by person in adverse possession: Issuance, service and posting of summons; rights of unknown persons

1. Within 1 year after the filing of the complaint, as required by NRS 40.090 , a summons must be issued in the manner and form prescribed in the Nevada Rules of

Civil Procedure. In addition to other requirements, the summons shall contain a description of the

property described in the complaint. In the summons the unknown defendants shall be designated as in the complaint. Service of summons, whether personal or otherwise, shall be effected in the manner

prescribed in the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure; and the times for completion of

service and appearance by the defendant shall be as prescribed therein. 2. Within 30 days after the issuance of the summons, the plaintiff shall post or cause

to be posted a copy thereof in a conspicuous place, on each separate parcel of the

property described in the complaint, and each parcel of the land upon which a copy

of the summons is posted shall be deemed to be in the possession of the court for

all the purposes of and pending the determination of the action. All such unknown persons so served shall have the same rights as are provided by

law in cases of all other defendants named, upon whom service is made by publication

or personally, and the action shall proceed against such unknown persons in the same

manner as against the defendants who are named, upon whom service is made by publication

or personally, and with like effect; and any such unknown person who has or claims

to have any right, title, estate, lien or interest in the property, or cloud on the

title thereto, adverse to plaintiff, at the time of the commencement of the action,

who has been duly served as aforesaid, and anyone claiming title under the unknown

person shall be concluded by the judgment in such action as effectually as if the

action had been brought against the person by his or her name and personal service

of process obtained, notwithstanding any such unknown person may be under legal disability.
