A family trust company or licensed family trust company shall provide written notice by personal service or by certified mail to each interested person who is a necessary party to a nonjudicial settlement agreement entered into pursuant to NRS 669A.233. A family trust company or licensed family trust company is not required to provide notice to any interested person who has consented in writing to the nonjudicial settlement agreement.2.
The notice provided pursuant to this section must:(a)
Be provided at least 15 days before the execution of the nonjudicial settlement agreement;(b)
Include a true and correct copy of the nonjudicial settlement agreement;(c)
State that the notice is provided pursuant to this section and NRS 669A.233;(d)
State the name and mailing address of the family trust company or licensed family trust company;(e)
State the date by which an objection to the nonjudicial settlement agreement must be made; and(f)
State the date on which the nonjudicial settlement agreement is to be executed.3.
An interested person who receives notice pursuant to this section may object to any term or condition of, or any act that is authorized by, the nonjudicial settlement agreement by submitting his or her objection in writing to the family trust company or licensed family trust company within 1 year after the date on which the interested person received the notice. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, if an interested person does not object within 1 year after receiving notice, his or her objection is waived, and the interested person may not bring any action relating to the terms and conditions of, or any act taken pursuant to, the nonjudicial settlement agreement.4.
An interested person who objects within the period specified in subsection 3 may petition the court for an order to approve, disapprove, enforce or modify the nonjudicial settlement agreement. The burden is on the interested person to prove that the nonjudicial settlement agreement should be approved, disapproved, enforced or modified.5.
The provisions of subsection 3 do not prohibit an interested person who has received notice pursuant to this section and who fails to object to the nonjudicial settlement agreement within 1 year after receiving the notice from bringing an action alleging that the nonjudicial settlement agreement was procured fraudulently, or entered into by the family trust company or licensed family trust company in bad faith or in willful violation of the terms of the trust. A person who brings such an action has the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the nonjudicial settlement agreement was procured fraudulently, in bad faith or in willful violation of the terms of the trust.6.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, if no interested person who is entitled to receive notice pursuant to this section objects to the nonjudicial settlement agreement within 1 year after receiving the notice, a family trust company or licensed family trust company is not liable to any interested person for taking any action that is authorized by the nonjudicial settlement agreement.
