§ 88A.210. Filing requirements; required and optional provisions of certificate of trust
1. One or more persons may create a business trust by adopting a governing instrument
and signing and filing with the Secretary of State a certificate of trust. The certificate of trust must set forth: (a) The name of the business trust; (b) The name and address, either residence or business, of at least one trustee; (c) The information required pursuant to NRS 77.310 ; (d) The name and address, either residence or business, of each person signing the
certificate of trust; and (e) Any other information the trustees determine to include. 2. Upon the filing of the certificate of trust with the Secretary of State and the
payment to the Secretary of State of the required filing fee, the Secretary of State
shall issue to the business trust a certificate that the required records with the
required content have been filed. From the date of that filing, the business trust is legally formed pursuant to this
chapter. 3. Except as otherwise provided in the governing instrument, a business trust organized
on or after October 1, 2011, is deemed to be an entity separate from its trustee or
trustees and beneficial owner. Except as otherwise provided in the governing instrument, a business trust may hold
or take title to property in its own name, or in the name of a trustee in the trustee's
capacity as trustee, whether in an active, passive or custodial capacity. The provisions of this subsection do not change the status of any business trust
existing as an entity or aggregation before October 1, 2011. 4. Neither the use of the designation “business trust” nor a statement in a governing
instrument or certificate of trust to the effect that the trust formed thereby is
or will qualify as a business trust under this chapter creates a presumption or inference
that the trust so formed is a business trust for the purposes of Title 11 of the United
States Code.
