E-Filing Fees

For Government Fees & Taxes

E-Filing Fees & Taxes & Remote Appearance Fees

The Clark County Probate Court requires that all documents (except for original wills and certain other documents) be e-filed, unless they are filed over the counter. This costs $3.50 to file each document or set of documents filed simultaneously in the same case, in addition to any court fees. Clark and Washoe Counties are the only Nevada counties at this time to require e-filing for probate matters.

In addition, Court filing fees in Clark and Washoe County done by e-filing with a credit card incur a 3% charge on top of the Court fees. Douglas County allows traditional over the counter or mail-in filings OR free e-filing.

Douglas County, Nevada, doesn't charge to e-file or for a Zoom appearance.

Nye County, Nevada, charges a remote appearance fee.

The flat fees we charge upfront for our timeshare and set aside probates (estate value is less than $100,000) include all of these additional fees just discussed, along with postage and copying charges. For probates of estates worth $100,000 or more, where we don't get paid in advance, we will simply pay and pass on to the estate any of these fees.

How Clark County E-filing Works:

E-Filing:

Clark County now automatically accepts all probate filings w/o review, the three notable exceptions being Letters of Administration or Letters Testamentary and Orders. Filing defects in documents automatically accepted may be noted by the Court at a later date. At this time, Notices of Hearing are filed with a blank date and the Court Clerk later assigns a date.

Over The Counter:
Original Wills must still be filed over the counter or mailed in so the Court Clerk can inspect and determine whether the Will is a photocopy or the original. Since e-filing involves filing a PDF copy, e-filing doesn't work for filing Wills.

Certified copies of documents can be requested over the counter and Letters of Administration or Letters Testamentary can also be issued over the counter if speed is important, but usually the Clark County Court is quite good about issuing these documents by e-filing within a day or two.

Certified copies, especially before covid were usually physical copies with an imprint seal and you ordered the number that you needed. Since covid "e-certified copies" are routinely accepted and this is a document that can be reproduced as many times as you want. Logically, an e-certified copy is just as easy or hard to forge as a regular filed court copy and for precisely this reason, some institutions are not demanding certified copies. For example, the Clark County Recorder's Office does not required certified copies of an Order changing title to property, but most other Nevada County Recorder Offices do.
