Retention of jurisdiction by court after final distribution
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. If a life estate or estate for years is
created by or under any will to continue after distribution of the estate, the
court does not lose jurisdiction of the estate, life estate or estate for years
by final distribution of the estate, but retains jurisdiction of it until the
distribution of the residue of the life estate or estate for years to those
entitled to it is complete. Proof of distribution of the residue may be made
upon petition of any person entitled to share in the distribution of the life
estate or estate for years, which terminates the jurisdiction of the court upon
decree of the court. The court does not retain jurisdiction over a testamentary
trust created by or under a will after distribution of that portion of the
estate to such a testamentary trust.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection 1, before the entry of an order granting final distribution of the
estate, the court may consider a petition filed by the trustee or any
beneficiary of the testamentary trust requesting the court to retain
jurisdiction of the testamentary trust and, upon good cause shown, the court
may order such continued jurisdiction. Such a petition must be filed with the
clerk of the court before the hearing on the petition for final distribution of
the estate and must be served on all interested persons in accordance with NRS 155.010 .
3. This section must not be construed to
limit the ability of an interested person to subsequently seek submission of a
testamentary trust to the jurisdiction of the court pursuant to NRS 164.010 .
