Public Administrator

What Fees Does the Public Administrator Charge?

  • For estates valued under $150,000, fees are based on the number of hours required to administer the estate. These hourly rates are approved by the Washoe County Board of Commissioners.                                                                                                                                                     
  • For estates valued over $150,000, fees are percentage-based and established by NRS 150.  These are the same statutory fees that apply to any court-appointed administrator.                                                                                                     
  • All costs associated with administration - such as postage, storage, and other necessary expenses - are paid from the estate.
