NRS 18.090 Costs in actions by or against executors and trustees. In an action prosecuted or defended by an
executor, administrator, trustee of express trust, or a person expressly
authorized by statute, costs may be recovered as in an action by and against a
person prosecuting and defending in his or her own right; but such costs shall,
by the judgment, be made chargeable only upon the estate, fund, or party
represented, unless the court shall direct the same to be paid by the plaintiff
or defendant, personally, for mismanagement or bad faith in the action or
defense.
