Hello everyone, thanks for checking out my first post to the Law Blog.  My website has been up and running for quite a while, but I am just now taking the opportunity to write something that I hope will be of interest to my existing clients and anyone else visiting this site.

My law practice involves helping people resolve disputes involving real property, running their businesses, and helping them create comprehensive estate plans (wills and trusts) for the benefit of their loved ones.  In this Blog I’ll be covering some of the legal issues and questions that often arise in my day-to-day practice. I also welcome your comments and suggestions for future topics.

Here’s a simple one for today: What are the formalities required when executing a Last Will and Testament?  In Nevada, the person making the will must sign the will in the presence of two witnesses.  These two witnesses should not be beneficiaries of the will as state law precludes them from receiving gifts made to them under that will.  So, it’s always a good idea to have two disinterested persons serving as the witnesses.
