If father was not married at the date of death and his estate is worth less than $100,000, then minor sister is entitled to share all of his estate with any and all siblings who were under the age of 18 when he died. If she is the only child under 18 then she is entitled to all. Under Nevada law you are not entitled to anything, given those facts. It may seem harsh, but that is the law. Since her mother is her guardian she would have custody of those items for the minor child. If there are cash accounts then the mother would need to be court appointed legal guardian of the minor's estate, or the monies may be placed in a blocked account until she is 18, if a very small amount. If those are not the facts you may want to speak with an attorney and address the facts as you know them. This information is only intended to give general information in response to an inquiry. It does not establish an attorney client relationship. This response is only based upon the limited facts presented and is merely intended to assist you in determining if you should contact an attorney to provide you with legal advice.
