Nevada Statute | Act | Code |Title 12 - Wills And Estates Of Deceased Persons| US Code - US Statute | Chapter 135

This chapter may be cited as the Uniform
Simultaneous Death Act.

      [9:44:1949; 1943 NCL § 9885.09]
Where the
title to property or the devolution thereof depends upon priority of
death and there is insufficient evidence that the persons died otherwise
than simultaneously, the property of each person must be disposed of as
if that person had survived, except as provided otherwise in this chapter.

      [1:44:1949; 1943 NCL § 9885.01]—(NRS A 1999, 2261 )
Where two or more beneficiaries are designated to take
successively by reason of survivorship under another person’s disposition
of property and there is insufficient evidence that these beneficiaries
died otherwise than simultaneously, the property thus disposed of must be
divided into as many equal portions as there are successive beneficiaries
and these portions must be distributed respectively to those who would
have taken in the event that each designated beneficiary had survived.

      [2:44:1949; 1943 NCL § 9885.02]—(NRS A 1999, 2261 )
Where there is insufficient
evidence that two joint tenants or spouses holding title to community
property with right of survivorship died otherwise than simultaneously,
the property so held must be distributed one-half as if one had survived
and one-half as if the other had survived. If there are more than two
joint tenants and all of them have so died, the property thus distributed
must be in the proportion that one bears to the whole number of joint
tenants.

      [3:44:1949; 1943 NCL § 9885.03]—(NRS A 1999, 2261 )
Where the insured and the
beneficiary in a policy of life or accident insurance have died and there
is insufficient evidence that they died otherwise than simultaneously,
the proceeds of the policy must be distributed as if the insured had
survived the beneficiary.

      [4:44:1949; 1943 NCL § 9885.04]—(NRS A 1999, 2262 )
Except as otherwise provided in
NRS 135.050 or in a premarital
agreement between spouses which is enforceable pursuant to chapter 123A
of NRS, where both spouses have died,
leaving community property, and there is insufficient evidence that they
died otherwise than simultaneously, one-half of all the community
property must be distributed as if one spouse had survived and the other
one-half thereof must be distributed as if the other spouse had survived.

or contracts in which provision has been made for distribution of
property different from the provisions of this chapter.

      [7:44:1949; 1943 NCL § 9885.07]—(NRS A 1999, 2262 )
This chapter shall be
