Nevada Revised Statutes
Chapter 150 - Compensation and Accounting
NRS 150.330 - Jurisdiction of court; methods of proration.

1. The proration must be made by the court having jurisdiction of any property in the estate in the proportion that the value of the property, interest or benefit of each such person bears to the total value of the property, interest and benefits received by all such persons interested in the estate.
2. In making a proration, allowances must be made for any exemptions granted by the act imposing the tax and for any deductions allowed by that act for the purpose of arriving at the value of the net estate.
3. Any exemption or deduction allowed by reason of the relationship of any person to the decedent or by reason of the charitable purposes of the gift inures to the benefit of the person bearing the relationship or receiving the charitable gift, except that, if an interest is subject to a prior present interest which is not allowable as a deduction, the estate tax apportionable against the present interest must be paid from principal.
4. A deduction for property previously taxed and a credit for gift taxes or taxes of a foreign country paid by the decedent or the estate of the decedent inures to the proportionate benefit of all persons liable to apportionment.
5. A credit for inheritance, succession or estate taxes or taxes in the nature thereof in respect to property or interests includable in the gross estate inures to the benefit of the persons or interests chargeable with the payment of the taxes to the extent or in proportion that the tax paid or payable reduces the estate tax.
6. To the extent that property passing to or in trust for a surviving spouse does not constitute an allowable deduction solely by reason of an inheritance tax or other death tax imposed upon and deductible from such property, it must not be included in the computation provided for in subsection 1, and to that extent, no apportionment may be made against that property.
7. The values used for federal estate tax purposes are the values used as the basis for apportionment.
8. If the court finds that it is inequitable to apportion interest and penalties in the same manner as the principal of the estate tax by reason of special circumstances, it may direct apportionment of interest and penalties in a manner different from principal.
