A Nevada living trust that actually holds your home.
A revocable living trust for Las Vegas and Nevada families, finished from home: $950 for one person or $1,500 for a couple, plus $250 per property for the deed that moves your home into the trust.
A trust is an empty box until the house is deeded into it — and an unfunded trust is the single most common reason a family still ends up in probate. TruPoint prepares your revocable living trust for $950 individual or $1,500 joint, and the funding deed that moves the property in for a separate $250, e-recorded with your county the same day. In English or Vietnamese.

Meet Quinnie Do
Quinnie founded TruPoint and leads a small team of document preparers working under the firm’s Nevada registration. We prepare the trust you direct and, critically, the deed that actually puts the property inside it — then record that deed with your county so the funding is real and on the public record, not a promise in a binder.
Quinnie is a native English and Vietnamese speaker, an IRS-registered tax return preparer and an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent. For South Las Vegas residents, in-person notarization is available in our Las Vegas office by appointment, with a commissioned Nevada notary public who partners with the firm.
What a Nevada living trust does — and what it costs.
A Nevada revocable living trust holds your assets during your lifetime and passes them to the people you name at your death without going through probate. You stay in control: you can amend it, add to it, or revoke it entirely while you are alive. A trust only avoids probate for the assets actually transferred into it, which for a home means recording a trust-funding deed with the county. TruPoint, a registered and bonded Nevada Document Preparation Service in Las Vegas, prepares the trust package for $950 (individual) or $1,500 (joint) and the funding deed for a separate $250 per property, with the Declaration of Value included, same-day electronic recording available for $50, and the county recording fee, estimated at $50 and varying by county depending on the county.
Nevada sets probate attorney compensation by statute as a percentage of the estate, on a sliding scale that starts at four per cent of the first hundred thousand dollars and steps down as the estate grows. On a $500,000 estate that formula produces roughly $13,000 in attorney compensation alone, before the court’s own costs and before the months the process takes. That is the number a funded trust is measured against.
We are a document preparation service, not a law firm: we prepare the documents you direct at a published fee, and we say plainly when a situation calls for an attorney.

An unfunded trust is an empty box.
This is the part people discover too late, usually at a death, and it is the reason we quote the funding deed separately instead of burying it.
Signing the trust is step one
A trust document names a trustee, names beneficiaries and sets the terms. On its own it holds nothing. The county record still shows the house in your personal name.
The funding deed is step two
A deed transferring the property from you personally into the trust, recorded with the county where the property sits. Until that deed records, the home is not in the trust.
What happens if step two is skipped
The trust exists, the home does not sit inside it, and the property may still have to go through the process the trust was created to avoid. The family finds out at the worst possible moment.
Transfers into or out of a trust without consideration, with a certificate of trust present, are among the transfers Nevada recognises as exempt from the Real Property Transfer Tax. The funding deed still records with a Declaration of Value and still pays the county recording fee.
People who want it handled before it is urgent.
You own a Nevada home
Real property is the asset that most often forces a family into probate. A funded trust is the usual way owners keep it out.
You have children
You want to say who receives what, and when, rather than leaving it to a court process and the default rules.
You want privacy
Probate is a public court file. A trust distribution is not, which matters to people who would rather their affairs stayed private.
You already have a trust that owns nothing
Common. Someone drafted the trust years ago and nobody ever recorded the deed. We prepare and record the funding deed for $250.
You own property in more than one state
Property in a second state can mean a second court process. Where a trust is the answer, the funding still has to happen in each state.
You live out of state
You own a Nevada property and live elsewhere. Intake, notarization and recording are all handled remotely.
The provisions a trustee needs to act, written in from the start.
A trust that leaves out the trustee’s powers or the successor trustee leaves your family explaining it to a bank or title company later. Every Nevada living trust we prepare includes the provisions below, and we prepare the matching certificate of trust when you need one.
Settlor and trustee, named exactly
The settlor and initial trustee named the same way on the trust, the funding deed and the certificate of trust.
Trustee powers, real property included
Express power to buy, sell, convey, lease and encumber real property, so the trustee can sign deeds and loan documents for the trust.
Successor trustees, in order
Named successor trustees, and how a successor takes over when a trustee dies, resigns or becomes incapacitated.
Revocation, amendment and modification
The settlor’s power to revoke, amend or modify the trust, and how that power is exercised.
Certificate-of-trust ready
The facts NRS 164.410 lists can be confirmed straight from the trust, so the certificate of trust matches it line for line. $200.
Funded with a recorded deed
A trust holds only what is deeded into it. The funding deed with the Declaration of Value is $250.
The trust and the deed, priced separately and honestly.
Trust drafted, deed recorded, funding real.
Intake
Tell us who the trustee and beneficiaries are, what property is involved, and how you want it distributed. We send a written disclosure, a contract naming the total price, and one payment link before drafting begins.
Prepare
We prepare the trust to your direction, and the funding deed with the Declaration of Value. A Certificate of Trust is available where a bank or title company asks for proof of the trust without the full document.
Sign, notarize, record
You sign from home by video with our partner’s registered Nevada online notary ($25 per signature), or, if you live in South Las Vegas, before a commissioned Nevada notary in our South Las Vegas office by appointment. We submit the funding deed electronically to your county the same day, so the funding is on the public record.
Attorney, preparer, or online form — what each one gets you.
Nevada does not require an attorney to prepare a trust. Whether you need one depends on your circumstances, not on your budget, and we say so when the answer is yes.
If your situation involves a contested claim, a blended family with competing interests, a special-needs beneficiary, or a business to pass on, speak with an attorney. Those are advice questions, and a document preparation service is not permitted to answer them — nor should it try.

Living trust preparation in the valleys and small towns, not just Las Vegas.
Estate planning offices cluster in Las Vegas and Reno. If you farm in Mason Valley or run cattle in Smith Valley, the nearest one can be two hours away, and that distance is the reason a lot of rural Nevada property is still sitting in one person’s name with no plan attached to it.
The whole matter runs remotely. Intake is by phone or online, the trust is drafted to your direction, you sign from home by video with a registered Nevada online notary through our partner, and the funding deed that moves the property into the trust is submitted electronically to your own county recorder. Nothing requires a drive to town, and the price does not change because you live a long way from one.
We prepare living trusts and funding deeds for owners in Mason Valley, Smith Valley, Yerington, Fernley, Dayton and Silver Springs in Lyon County, in Fallon in Churchill County, in Winnemucca, Elko, Battle Mountain, Ely, Lovelock and Pahrump, and everywhere else in the state.
Ranch and farm ground raises one issue town property usually does not. Where land is held in more than one parcel, or where a parcel has been split off over the years, each parcel has its own legal description and each has to be named correctly in the funding deed. A trust that receives the house but misses the back forty leaves that piece exposed to probate. We work from the recorded descriptions rather than from memory, and we can retrieve them for $30 if you no longer have the paperwork.
Revocable or irrevocable — what you give up, and what you get.
Almost every Nevada homeowner who asks us for a living trust wants the revocable kind. It is worth understanding the difference before you decide, because the two are not interchangeable and one of them cannot be undone.
A revocable living trust is a container you still control. You are usually the trustee and the beneficiary during your lifetime, you can sell, refinance, add property, change beneficiaries or tear the whole thing up. Because you keep that control, the law still treats the property as yours — which is why a revocable trust does not shelter assets from your creditors and does not change your income tax position.
An irrevocable trust is the opposite trade. You hand over control, generally for good, and in exchange the property can sit outside your estate for certain purposes. People use them for asset protection, for particular tax objectives and in Medicaid planning. They are not a document to sign because a website said trusts are good, and the consequences of getting one wrong are difficult to reverse.
Where we draw the line. TruPoint prepares the trust you direct us to prepare. We can explain what each type does and does not do, in plain language, for as long as you need. What we cannot do is tell you which one suits your family, your creditors or your tax position — that is legal advice and it belongs with an attorney. If your situation points that way, we will say so rather than sell you a document.
What the successor trustee has to do, and the 120-day clock.
A revocable trust becomes irrevocable when the person who created it dies. At that moment the successor trustee named in the document takes over, and a set of steps begins that most families have never been told about.
The notice that closes the window. Nevada allows the trustee to serve notice on beneficiaries and on the settlor’s heirs once the trust becomes irrevocable. That notice has to state that no action to contest the trust may be brought more than 120 days after the notice is provided (NRS 164.021). Serve it properly and the window for challenges closes in four months. Never serve it and that window can stay open far longer, which is exactly the position a disappointed relative needs.
Proving the successor trustee has authority. Banks, title companies and buyers will ask the new trustee to prove they hold the office before they will deal with them. A Certificate of Trust does that without handing over the whole trust document and everything it says about who gets what. TruPoint prepares one for $200.
Property the trust never received. This is the failure we see most often. The trust was signed years ago, the funding deed was never recorded, and the house is still in the deceased person’s own name. The trust cannot pass what it never owned. What clears the record then depends on how title was actually held — if it was held with a right of survivorship, an Affidavit of Death of Joint Tenant clears it for $250. If a Deed Upon Death was recorded, the beneficiary records a Death of Grantor Affidavit, also $250. If neither applies, the property is part of the estate and the family is looking at probate on the very asset the trust was bought to protect.
Installing the successor trustee on title. When the trustee dies or steps down, the person taking over signs an Affidavit of Successor Trustee. It records their acceptance of the office, and where the trust owns real property, recording it puts the change of trustee on the county record. Without it, the record still shows a trustee who is dead or no longer serving, and a bank or a buyer will stop the transaction there. TruPoint prepares it for $250.
Creditors have a clock too. Under NRS 164.025, creditors generally have 90 days after the notice to creditors is mailed or first published to file a claim with the trustee. Those windows run alongside the 120-day contest period, and a successor trustee who distributes the estate before they close can end up personally exposed to a claim that arrives afterwards.
A different document entirely. If you have been told you need a Substitution of Trustee, that belongs to a loan rather than a living trust. It is how a lender replaces the trustee named on a recorded deed of trust, it is not a living trust document at all. What a family needs after a death or a resignation is the Affidavit of Successor Trustee, and that is what we prepare.
A trust is only tested once you are not there to explain it.
Nevada does not require an attorney or a preparer to create a trust. Plenty of people download one and sign it. The reason we are blunt about the risk is that every mistake in a trust surfaces at the worst possible moment — after a death, in front of people who disagree about money.
Nevada treats a trust contest as ordinary civil litigation. The person challenging the trust is the plaintiff, the trustee is the defendant, and the written grounds have to be pleaded the way any civil complaint is pleaded. That means the family member you appointed — usually a son or daughter, usually grieving — becomes a defendant in a lawsuit, with the trust’s money funding the defence.
Nevada courts can also reach a revocable trust while the settlor is still alive, where the settlor cannot adequately protect their own interests or is shown to be susceptible to undue influence. A trust signed late in life, without a preparer or attorney in the room and without the formalities observed, is precisely the fact pattern that invites that argument.
Nevada also enforces no-contest clauses, subject to statutory exceptions. A clause of that kind is only as strong as the document it sits in, and a downloaded form that was never properly executed gives a challenger the opening to argue the whole instrument is invalid — which takes the clause down with it.
What we do about it. We prepare the trust to your direction and, critically, we prepare and record the funding deed that puts the property inside it, working from the recorded legal description rather than from memory. If something in a document we prepared is wrong on our end, we correct it and resubmit at no additional charge. We are not attorneys and we do not give legal advice — where a situation calls for it, we say so plainly and tell you to go and get it.
What people ask before setting one up, answered plainly.
In general, a living trust needs a signed trust document that names the trustee and the beneficiaries and says how the property is managed and distributed. The trust then controls only the property transferred into it, so a home must be deeded to the trust with a recorded funding deed. TruPoint prepares the package for $950 individual or $1,500 joint, plus $250 per property for the funding deed.
A revocable living trust is created by signing a trust document that names you as trustee during your life and names a successor trustee for later. The trust holds only the property actually transferred into it, which for a home means recording a funding deed. TruPoint prepares the living trust package for $950 individual or $1,500 joint, and the funding deed for a separate $250 per property.
Yes. The whole process is remote: intake online, documents signed from home by video with a registered Nevada online notary through our partner ($25 per signature), and the funding deed submitted to Washoe County for recording the same day it is returned. The package is $950 individual or $1,500 joint, plus $250 per property for the funding deed.
TruPoint, a registered Nevada Document Preparation Service in Las Vegas, prepares a revocable living trust package for $950 individual or $1,500 joint, with the trust-funding deed that moves a property into it a separate $250 including the Declaration of Value, e-recorded in any of Nevada’s 17 recording jurisdictions in English and Vietnamese.
Because it is separate work: a deed transferring the property into the trust, prepared with a Declaration of Value and recorded with the county where the property sits. A trust with nothing deeded into it holds an empty box, so most people with a Nevada home need both. Quoting them separately means you can see exactly what each step costs.
A revocable living trust avoids probate for the assets actually transferred into it. For real property that means recording a funding deed with the county. Assets never moved into the trust are not covered by it, which is why an unfunded trust so often fails to do the one job it was created for.
Nevada sets probate attorney compensation by statute as a percentage of the estate, starting at four per cent of the first hundred thousand dollars and stepping down as the estate grows. On a $500,000 estate the formula produces roughly $13,000 in attorney compensation alone, before court costs and before the months the process takes.
No. TruPoint, a registered and bonded Nevada Document Preparation Service, prepares your trust and funding deed at your direction. If your situation involves a contested claim, a blended family with competing interests, a special-needs beneficiary or a business to pass on, those are advice questions and belong with an attorney — we will tell you so.
Yes. Every trust we prepare names the settlor and trustee, gives the trustee express power to buy, sell, convey, lease and encumber real property, names successor trustees and how they take over, and sets out how the trust can be revoked, amended or modified. You direct the terms and we prepare the document. We are not attorneys and cannot advise you on which terms to choose.
A revocable living trust can be amended or revoked while you are alive. It becomes irrevocable at your death. That flexibility is the reason most Nevada homeowners choose a revocable trust over an irrevocable one.
Transfers into or out of a trust without consideration, with a certificate of trust present, are among the transfers Nevada recognises as exempt from the Real Property Transfer Tax. The funding deed still records with a Declaration of Value and still pays the county recording fee.
It is a short document proving the trust exists and who has authority to act, without disclosing the full terms. Banks and title companies commonly ask for one instead of the whole trust. TruPoint prepares a Certificate of Trust for $200.
An Affidavit of Successor Trustee. It records that the successor has accepted the office, and where the trust owns real property, recording it with the county recorder puts the successor trustee onto the title. Until it is recorded, the record still shows a trustee who is no longer serving. TruPoint prepares it for $250.
No. A Substitution of Trustee belongs to a deed of trust rather than a living trust. It is how a lender replaces the trustee named on a recorded deed of trust, it is not a living trust document at all. What a family needs after a death or a resignation is the Affidavit of Successor Trustee, and that is what we prepare.
A trust covers the whole estate and handles incapacity as well as death. A Deed Upon Death covers one property, costs $250, and is revocable during your life. Which fits your circumstances is your decision — we explain what each does and prepare the one you direct.
Yes, and it is one of the more common things we are asked to do. We prepare the funding deed with the Declaration of Value for $250 and record it with your county, which puts the property inside the trust you already have.
Yes. Intake, preparation, notarization and electronic recording are all handled remotely: you sign from home by video with a registered Nevada online notary through our partner at $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.
