FAQs

Can I create a pet trust if I have other types of pets besides dogs or cats?

Estate planning attorneys can help you create a pet trust to plan for the future of any type of designated pets or domestic animals. This includes, but is not limited to, birds, fish, snakes, rabbits, horses, lizards, etc.

What is the difference between a revocable trust and an irrevocable trust?

A trust is a legal entity that is set up to manage an asset. A revocable trust is a trust that allows the terms to be changed at any time. This change can occur with or without the consent of the beneficiary. An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, can only be modified with beneficiary consent.

Can you pay a surrogate in Nevada?

Yes, you can pay a surrogate/gestational carrier in Nevada. You can not, however, financially compensate an embryo donor. Egg donors, on the other hand, can be compensated financially for the pain and suffering sustained due to the donation process.

Can a surrogate decide to keep the baby?

No. While a carrier has rights outlined in a gestational carrier agreement, they cannot choose to keep the child. This is because they do not possess parental rights if all laws were followed during the contract phase.

What are the grounds for divorce in Nevada?

In Nevada, the grounds for divorce are irreconcilable differences, living separate and apart for a minimum of one year, and incurable insanity existing for at least two years prior to the action. For a Nevada divorce to be granted on the no-fault grounds of irreconcilable differences or living separately and apart, the petitioner must simply state that the conditions exist. However, corroborative evidence is required to obtain a divorce based on incurable insanity.
