NRS 136.260 - Probate of foreign wills: Procedure.

1. A will duly proved, allowed and admitted to probate outside of this State may be admitted to probate and recorded in the proper court of any county in this State in which the testator left any estate.
2. When a copy of the will and the order admitting it to probate, duly certified, are presented by the personal representative, a nominee or any other interested person, with a petition for probate, the order and copy must be filed, and the clerk shall set a time for a hearing thereon, and notice must be given as required by law on a petition for the original probate of a domestic will pursuant to NRS 136.100.
3. If, upon the hearing, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the will has been duly proved and admitted to probate outside this State, and that it was executed according to the law of the place in which it was made, or in which the testator was at the time domiciled, or in conformity with the laws of this State, it must be admitted to probate with the same force and effect as the original probate of a domestic will.
4. If a certified copy of a will from any jurisdiction where probate is not required by the laws of that jurisdiction, with the certificate of the legal custodian of the original will that the certified copy is a true copy and that the will has become operative by the laws of that jurisdiction, or a copy of a notarial will in possession of a notary in a foreign jurisdiction entitled to the custody of the will and required by the laws of that jurisdiction to retain custody of it, duly certified by the notary, is presented by the personal representative, a nominee of the personal representative or another interested person to the proper court in this State, the clerk shall set a time for a hearing thereon, and notice must be given as required by law on a petition for the original probate of a domestic will.
5. If it appears to the court that the will should be admitted to probate in this State, as the last will and testament of the decedent, the copy must be filed with the clerk, and the will has the same effect as if originally proved and admitted to probate in the court of this State.
