NRS 143.190
Cumulative method of service of process on personal representative

  • written statement containing permanent address of personal representative to be filed with clerk.

1.

Before letters are delivered to a personal representative, the personal representative shall file with the county clerk of the county in which the administration of the estate is pending a written statement containing the name and permanent address of the personal representative. The permanent address may, from time to time, be changed by filing with the county clerk a written statement giving the changed address. The permanent address shall be deemed to be that contained in the last statement so filed by the personal representative.

2.

The taking of his or her oath of office by a personal representative constitutes an appointment of the county clerk of the county in which the administration of the estate is pending to be the true and lawful attorney, upon whom all legal process in any action or proceeding against the personal representative may be served, with the same legal force and effect as if served upon the personal representative personally within the State of Nevada.

3.

Service of process may be made by mailing by registered or certified mail a copy of the process, and if the process is a summons, there must be attached thereto a copy of the complaint certified by the clerk or the plaintiff’s attorney, directly to the personal representative at the address contained in the statement filed with the clerk. This service is sufficient personal service upon the personal representative if proof of the service is filed with the clerk.

4.

The court in which the action is pending may order such continuances as may be necessary to afford the personal representative reasonable opportunity to defend the action.

5.

The foregoing method of service is cumulative, and does not prevent the personal service of process upon the personal representative within the State of Nevada.
