1. When a revocable trust becomes
irrevocable because of the death of a settlor or by the express terms of the
trust, the trustee may, after the trust becomes irrevocable, provide notice to
any beneficiary of the irrevocable trust, any heir of the settlor or to any
other interested person.
2. The notice provided by the trustee must
contain:
(a) The identity of the settlor of the trust and
the date of execution of the trust instrument.
(b) The name, mailing address and telephone
number of any trustee of the trust.
(c) The dispositive provisions of the trust
instrument which pertain to the beneficiary, a complete copy of the trust
instrument or notice that the heir or interested person is not a beneficiary
under the trust. As used in this paragraph, trust instrument means only those
amendments, restatements and instruments the trustee has determined to be in
effect at the time of the death of the settlor after the trustee has exercised
due diligence.
(d) Any information required to be included in
the notice expressly provided by the trust instrument.
(e) A statement set forth in a separate
paragraph, in 12-point boldface type or an equivalent type which states: You
may not bring an action to contest the trust more than 120 days from the date
this notice is provided to you.
3. The trustee shall cause notice pursuant
to this section to be provided in accordance with the provisions of NRS 155.010 .
4. Except as otherwise provided in this
subsection, no person upon whom notice is provided pursuant to this section may
bring an action to contest the validity of the trust more than 120 days from
the date the notice is served upon the person, unless the person proves that he
or she did not receive actual notice. A person upon whom notice is provided
pursuant to this section may provide consent in writing to a period of less
than 120 days in which the person may bring an action to contest the validity
of the trust.
5. A trustee is not liable in providing
information pursuant to paragraph (c) of subsection 2 to any person whom the
trustee has determined, after the exercise of due diligence, to be a
beneficiary, heir or interested person.
6. A person may waive the right to notice
contemplated by this section by delivering to the trustee a waiver signed by
the person, which shall be deemed irrevocable. Upon delivery of such a waiver
to the trustee, the person who waived the right to notice is precluded from
bringing any action to contest the validity of the trust.
