Can you use a transfer-on-death deed in Nevada?

Yes. In Nevada, an owner may pass real estate at death by a deed upon death, which is valid only if it is executed and recorded with the county recorder before the owner dies, and which the owner may revoke at any time by a recorded revocation. NRS 111.655 to 111.699 are Nevada’s Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act, and Nevada calls the instrument a deed upon death. It takes effect without notice or delivery to, or acceptance by, the beneficiary, and without consideration. If the owner records more than one deed upon death for the same property, the one last recorded before death controls, and a deed upon death may not be revoked by a revocatory act on the deed itself. This is NRS 111.655, 111.671, 111.677, 111.681, 111.683, 111.697.
