Why Reno families choose our firm - and why Nevada makes it even smarter

April 30, 2026

When it comes to protecting your family and everything you've built, two things matter above all else: who you work with, and where you plan. Northern Nevada families are fortunate on both counts.

Why Nevada May Be Favorable for Estate Planning

Nevada offers several features that many families find appealing when building an estate plan. Laws are current as of 2025, but you may want to confirm updates with a qualified attorney.

  • No state estate or inheritance tax
    Nevada does not impose a state-level estate or inheritance tax. This may help preserve more wealth for your beneficiaries.
  • Asset protection trust options
    Nevada allows self-settled spendthrift trusts. These trusts may allow you to remain a beneficiary while adding a layer of protection from certain future creditors.
  • Long-term dynasty trusts
    Nevada permits trusts that may last up to 365 years. This structure is often used for multi-generational planning.
  • No state income tax on trust income
    Nevada does not tax trust income at the state level. This may benefit trusts that retain and grow assets over time.
  • Flexible trust structures
    Directed trust laws allow different parties to manage investments and distributions. This flexibility may help families with complex needs.
