NRS
138.020 Qualifications of executor; letters with will annexed.
1. No person is qualified to serve as an
executor who, at the time the will is probated:
(a) Is under the age of majority;
(b) Has been convicted of a felony, unless the
court determines that such a conviction should not disqualify the person from
serving in the position of an executor;
(c) Upon proof, is adjudged by the court
disqualified to execute the duties of executor by reason of conflict of
interest, drunkenness, improvidence, lack of integrity or understanding or
other compelling reason; or
(d) Is a bank not authorized to do business in
the State of Nevada, unless it associates as coexecutor a bank authorized to do
business in this State. An out-of-state bank is qualified to appoint a
substitute executor, pursuant to NRS 138.045,
without forming such an association, but any natural person so appointed must
be a resident of this State.
2. If a disqualified person is named as
the sole executor in a will, or if all persons so named are disqualified or
renounce their right to act, or fail to appear and qualify, letters of
administration with the will annexed must issue.
