Current Nevada Law: Subject to Verification
This article discusses Nevada title, deed, foreclosure, property-tax and HOA law under current Nevada law as of the last reviewed date, and it is subject to change. Nevada deed-of-trust foreclosure procedures are governed primarily by NRS Chapter 107; Nevada common-interest-community (HOA) lien and foreclosure law is governed primarily by NRS Chapter 116. Statutes, deadlines, procedures and remedies change. Always verify current Nevada law and the specific facts of your situation with a qualified Nevada attorney and title professional before acting.
Step 1: Obtain the Recording
Get the exact deed.
Step 2: Compare Ownership History
Review prior legitimate title information.
Step 3: Gather Evidence
Potential evidence includes your identification, signature examples, travel records, communications, prior title policy, and purchase documents.
Step 4: Contact Attorney
Depending on circumstances, litigation or another corrective process may be required. In some ownership disputes, a quiet title action is the legal remedy; a Nevada real estate attorney determines what the facts require.
Step 5: Notify Insurer
If an owner's title insurance policy exists, submit the matter through the insurer's claim process where appropriate.
Step 6: Notify Authorities
Suspected forgery or identity fraud may involve criminal reporting as well as civil title remedies.
Why Speed Matters
A fraudster may try to sell, borrow, or transfer again. The earlier the issue is identified, the better positioned professionals may be to respond.
Important
FREE CLARK COUNTY PROPERTY RECORDING ALERT. Clark County offers a Recording Notification Service that allows users to enroll names and/or parcel numbers and receive email notifications when matching documents are recorded. Clark County expressly states that the service is a notification tool and does not prevent a document from being recorded, and the county cautions that it cannot guarantee it will identify every document that may affect a property. That makes it useful as an early-warning resource, not a substitute for title insurance or legal help. Enroll on the official Clark County Recording Notification Service page.
