Nevada Deed Upon Death — the transfer on death deed, prepared for $250.
What many states call a transfer on death deed, Nevada calls a Deed Upon Death. You keep full ownership and control for life, and the house passes to the person you name without probate. We prepare it in the form every Nevada county accepts, and in Las Vegas we submit it to Clark County the same day you return it signed.
A Deed Upon Death names who inherits your property while you keep full ownership, full control, and the right to change your mind at any time. Nothing transfers until you are gone. TruPoint prepares the deed and the required Declaration of Value for $250, provides signing instructions, and submits it electronically to your county the same day — in English or Vietnamese.
What you keep
- Full ownership for the rest of your life
- The right to sell or refinance without asking anyone
- The right to revoke or change the beneficiary
- Your homestead and property-tax status
- No transfer tax when the deed takes effect at death

What a Deed Upon Death does in Nevada.
A Nevada Deed Upon Death lets an owner name who inherits a property while keeping full ownership and the right to revoke during life. The deed is signed, notarized and recorded now, but it transfers nothing until the owner dies. At death the beneficiary records a Death of Grantor Affidavit with a certified death certificate and a Declaration of Value, and the property passes outside probate. TruPoint, a registered and bonded Nevada Document Preparation Service in Las Vegas, prepares and electronically records these documents in all 17 Nevada recording jurisdictions, in English and Vietnamese, for $250 with the Declaration of Value included.
Nevada calls this instrument a Deed Upon Death. Elsewhere it is a transfer-on-death deed or a beneficiary deed, and searchers use those phrases too — but the Nevada document, and the words the recorder expects, are the ones above.
As of 2026, the county recording fee is estimated at $50 and varies by county. No Real Property Transfer Tax is due when a Deed Upon Death takes effect at death. The deed also has to match what the record already says and carry the details the county requires, or it comes back unrecorded — which on this document your family may only discover when they need it.

Looking for a transfer on death deed in Nevada?
You have found the right document. Most states call it a transfer on death deed, some call it a beneficiary deed, and national form sites use both. Nevada’s own name for it is the Deed Upon Death, and that is the title the recorder expects to see on the page.
The substance is the same wherever you first read about it. You name who inherits the property, you keep full ownership and full control while you are alive, you can revoke it at any time, and at your death the property passes to the person you named without going through probate. What differs between states is the wording, the formalities and the form of the affidavit the beneficiary records afterwards — which is exactly where a transfer on death deed downloaded for another state comes back rejected.
TruPoint prepares the Nevada version, titled and worded the way the county accepts, with the Declaration of Value included, for $250. Started with a form from a national website? Skip it. We prepare a fresh Nevada Deed Upon Death for you from the start, at the same $250.
A Deed Upon Death error shows up after the owner dies. We prepare yours right the first time.
A Deed Upon Death only works if it is written correctly and recorded in time. It must be signed and notarized while you are alive and recorded with the county before your death, or it has no effect. It has to name the beneficiaries clearly and say how their shares divide, match the legal description and vesting already on record, and carry the parcel number, the tax-statement address, the no-Social-Security-number affirmation and a Declaration of Value. A mistake on this deed usually surfaces only after the owner has died, when it can no longer be corrected by the person who signed it. We prepare it with all of it in place for $250.
Owners who want the house to pass without a court case.
You want your children to inherit the house
One property, clear intentions, and no wish to pay for a full estate plan. The deed names them and keeps the house out of probate.
You watched a family go through probate
Nevada probate can run months and consumes a percentage of the estate. Owners who have seen it once rarely want it again.
You are not ready for a living trust
A trust does more and costs more. For a single Nevada property, this deed handles the house specifically.
You want to keep control
You can still sell, refinance, or revoke the deed. The beneficiary has no rights while you are alive and does not have to be told.
You own the property alone
Without a surviving joint tenant, there is no automatic transfer at death unless something is recorded ahead of time.
You live out of state
You own Nevada property and live elsewhere. Intake and recording are handled remotely, and you sign by remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner ($25 per signature) — no trip to Nevada.
Three ways a Nevada home passes, and what each costs.
Deed Upon Death
Recorded now, effective at death. You keep full control and can revoke it. Covers one property. No transfer tax when it takes effect. The beneficiary records a Death of Grantor Affidavit afterward.
Living trust
Covers the whole estate, not just the house, and handles incapacity as well as death. Costs more and only works once the home is actually deeded into it by a trust-funding deed.
Nothing recorded
The property passes through Nevada probate. That is a court process measured in months, and its cost is generally calculated as a percentage of the estate rather than a fee.
Which of the three fits your circumstances is your decision to make. We explain what each instrument does and prepare the one you direct us to prepare. Where a situation calls for legal advice, we will tell you plainly and suggest you speak with an attorney.
One fee. Government charges shown separately.

No transfer tax when it takes effect.
Nevada’s Real Property Transfer Tax is a government charge collected by the recorder at $1.95 per $500 of value statewide, $2.55 in Clark County and $2.05 in Washoe and Churchill Counties. A Deed Upon Death is one of the categories Nevada recognises as exempt, because the transfer happens at death rather than as a sale. A Declaration of Value is still required, the recording fee is still payable, and the exemption basis is stated on the form. We complete that form as part of the fee and tell you plainly what the county will and will not accept.
Five steps, most of them ours.
Intake
You tell us the property and who you want to inherit it. We send a written disclosure, a written contract naming the total price, and one payment link covering our fee and the county charges.
Prepare
We draft the Deed Upon Death and complete the Declaration of Value, confirm the parcel number and the tax-statement address, and retrieve the prior recorded transfer if you do not have it.
Sign and notarize
You sign by remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary ($25 per signature). South Las Vegas residents may also sign in person with our partner notary at our office. A Deed Upon Death must be notarized and recorded during your lifetime to work.
Submit same day
We submit electronically to your county the same day it is signed. Counties typically complete recording within the same day to three business days, and we handle any rejection until it is on record.
Later, at death
Your beneficiary records a Death of Grantor Affidavit with a certified death certificate. We prepare that document too, when the time comes.
What a wrong deed costs. And how we get yours right the first time.
Nevada does not require an attorney or a document preparer to record a Deed Upon Death. What is worth knowing is what a mistake costs. A deed that is wrong for your situation still records, and one with a detail missing comes back unrecorded — sometimes only discovered by your family after you are gone, when it is too late to fix.
We stand behind our work. If something in a document we prepared is wrong on our end, we correct it and resubmit it for recording at our cost. Ready to start? Start My Deed online in about ten minutes.

What people ask before they record one, answered plainly.
Yes. Nevada calls it a Deed Upon Death. The owner names who receives the property, keeps full ownership and control during life, and can revoke it at any time. It is valid only if it is recorded with the county recorder before the owner dies. TruPoint prepares a Deed Upon Death for $250 and submits it for recording the same day it is signed.
Property passes outside probate when title already names who receives it. Common ways include a Deed Upon Death, joint tenancy with right of survivorship, and a funded living trust. Which one fits a family is the owner’s decision, and we explain how each document works. TruPoint prepares a Deed Upon Death for $250, or a living trust package for $950 individual or $1,500 joint plus $250 per property for the funding deed.
A Nevada Deed Upon Death lets an owner name who inherits a property while keeping full ownership and the right to revoke during life. It is signed, notarized and recorded now but transfers nothing until the owner dies, at which point the property passes to the named beneficiary outside probate. TruPoint, a registered Nevada Document Preparation Service in Las Vegas, prepares and records these in all 17 Nevada recording jurisdictions for $250.
TruPoint prepares a Nevada Deed Upon Death with the Declaration of Value for $250. Same-day electronic recording is $50 and South Las Vegas residents who sign in person with our partner notary pay $15 for the first signature and $7 for each additional signature by the same signer. Remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner is $25 per signature. The county recording fee is estimated at $50 and varies by county. No Real Property Transfer Tax is due when the deed takes effect at death.
Yes, for the property named in the deed. When the owner dies, the beneficiary records a Death of Grantor Affidavit with a certified death certificate and a Declaration of Value, and title passes without a probate case for that property. Assets not covered by the deed are unaffected.
Yes. A Nevada Deed Upon Death gives the beneficiary no rights during the owner’s lifetime. The owner keeps full ownership and can sell, refinance, or revoke the deed without the beneficiary’s consent or knowledge.
A Nevada Deed Upon Death is revocable during the owner’s lifetime, and revocation is itself a recorded document. TruPoint prepares and records a revocation or a replacement deed naming a different beneficiary at the same fee.
They describe the same kind of instrument, but Nevada’s statutory name is Deed Upon Death. “Transfer on death deed” and “beneficiary deed” are the terms used in other states and by national form sites. The document a Nevada recorder accepts is the Nevada one.
Nevada does not require an attorney to prepare or record one. A registered Document Preparation Service prepares the document at the client’s direction. Deciding whether this instrument suits your circumstances, rather than a trust or another arrangement, is a decision for you, and where a situation calls for legal advice we say so.
If she recorded a Deed Upon Death during her lifetime, the beneficiary records a Death of Grantor Affidavit with a certified death certificate and a Declaration of Value to complete the transfer. If nothing was recorded before her death, a Deed Upon Death can no longer be created, and the property will follow whatever process applies to her estate. TruPoint prepares the affidavit for $250 and can tell you what the county record currently shows.
No transfer tax is due when the deed takes effect at death, which Nevada treats as an exempt category. A Declaration of Value is still required and the county recording fee is still payable. The exemption basis is stated on the Declaration of Value, which is included in the fee.
Nevada permits more than one beneficiary on a Deed Upon Death, and how their shares are described matters to how the property passes. Tell us what you want to happen and we prepare the deed to match your direction.
TruPoint submits the deed to the county electronically the same day it is signed and notarized. Counties typically complete recording within the same day to three business days. The completion window belongs to the county and varies with jurisdiction and volume.
Yes. Intake, document review and electronic recording are handled remotely, you sign by remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary ($25 per signature), and out-of-state owners of Nevada property are a regular part of our work.
Yes. Quinnie Do is a native English and Vietnamese speaker and handles the entire matter in either language, from intake through signing.
An error usually comes to light only after the owner’s death, when it can no longer be re-signed, and the home can end up in probate after all. The deed also has to be recorded before the owner dies. TruPoint prepares your Nevada Deed Upon Death with the beneficiaries and the Declaration of Value completed for $250, and e-records it the same day.
