The court, on its own motion or upon petition by an interested person, may, if deemed advisable considering the needs and resources of the surviving spouse, minor child or minor children, set apart for the use of the surviving spouse, minor child or minor children of the decedent all of the personal property which is exempt by law from execution, and shall, in accordance with NRS 146.050, set apart the homestead, as designated by the general homestead law then in force, whether the homestead has theretofore previously been selected as required by law or not, and the property thus set apart is not subject to administration.2. If, after setting apart the property pursuant to subsection 1, the remaining assets of the estate do not exceed $100,000 and may be set aside without administration pursuant to NRS 146.070, the court shall set aside the remaining assets of the estate without administration pursuant to the procedure set forth in NRS 146.070. The court may consider at the same time a petition made pursuant to subsection 1 and a petition to set aside the remaining assets of the estate without administration pursuant to NRS 146.070.3. If, after setting apart the property pursuant to subsection 1, the remaining assets of the estate exceed $100,000 and may not be set aside without administration pursuant to NRS 146.070, the court shall administer the remaining assets of the estate pursuant to this title as if the remaining assets of the estate are the only assets of the estate. If the petition to set apart property pursuant to subsection 1 is made in the initial petition, the court shall consider only the value of the remaining assets of the estate not set apart pursuant to subsection 1 for the purpose of ordering summary administration pursuant to chapter 145 of NRS.[112:107:1941; 1931 NCL § 9882.112]-(NRS A 1999, 2303; 2009, 1628; 2019, 1856)Amended by 2019, Ch. 309,§16, eff. 10/1/2019.[112:107:1941; 1931 NCL § 9882.112 ] - (NRS A 1999, 2303; 2009, 1628)
