Nevada Revised Statutes 159A.107 – Presentment and verification of claims
Except as otherwise provided in NRS 159A.105, all claims against the protected minor, the guardianship estate or the guardian of the estate as such must be presented to the guardian of the estate. Each such claim must be in writing, must describe the nature and the amount of the claim, if ascertainable, and must be accompanied by the affidavit of the claimant, or someone on behalf of the claimant, who has personal knowledge of the fact. The affidavit must state that within the knowledge of the affiant the amount claimed is justly due, no payments have been made thereon which are not credited and there is no counterclaim thereto, except as stated in the affidavit. If such claim is founded on a written instrument, the original or a copy thereof with all endorsements must be attached to the claim. The original instrument must be exhibited to the guardian or the court, upon demand, unless it is lost or destroyed, in which case the fact of its loss or destruction must be stated in the claim.
