Nevada Revised Statutes Section 149.050 - Wills and Estates of Deceased Persons

Effect of proceedings under NRS 149.010 to 149.050, inclusive.

1. A mortgage or security agreement so made is effectual to mortgage or subject to the security agreement all right, title, interest and estate which the decedent had in the property described therein at the time of his death or previously and any right, title or interest in the property acquired by the estate of the decedent, by operation of law or otherwise, since the time of his death.

2. Jurisdiction of the court to administer the estate of the decedent is effectual to vest the court with jurisdiction to enter the order for the note or notes and mortgage or security agreement, and the jurisdiction conclusively inures to the benefit of the mortgagee named in the mortgage or the secured party named in the security agreement and the heirs, successors and assigns of the secured party.

3. No omission, error or irregularity in the proceedings impairs or invalidates them or the note or notes or mortgage or security agreement given in pursuance thereof, and the mortgagee or secured party and the heirs, successors and assigns of the secured party, have and possess the same rights and remedies on the note or notes and mortgage or security agreement as if it had been made by the decedent before his death, except that, upon any foreclosure or sale under the mortgage or security agreement, if the proceeds of the sale of the encumbered property are insufficient to pay the note or notes, the mortgage or security agreement, and the costs or expenses of sale, no judgment may be had or allowed except in cases where the note or notes or mortgage or security agreement was given to pay, reduce, extend or renew a lien, mortgage or security agreement existing at the time of the death of the decedent and the indebtedness secured thereby was an allowed and approved claim against the estate, in which case the part of the indebtedness remaining unsatisfied must be classed and paid with other allowed claims against the estate.
