NV estate tax is a pickup equal to the federal state death tax credit, zero since the federal credit's repeal
“A tax is hereby imposed on the transfer of the taxable estate of a: 1. Resident decedent in the amount of the maximum credit allowable against the federal estate tax for the payment of state death taxes”
Note: Quote proves the pickup structure; the zero-liability conclusion also requires the federal fact that IRC 2011's credit was eliminated for deaths after 2004. Nev. Const. art. 10 sec 4 caps any death tax at the federal credit.

Nevada is a community property state: all property acquired after marriage is community property (NRS 123.220)
“Except as otherwise provided in NRS 123.030 and in cases where separate property is set aside out of the community property for the support of a party or dependent children pursuant to NRS 123.121 and 125.150, all property, other than that stated in NRS 123.130, acquired after marriage by either husband or wife, or both, is community property unless: 1. Acquired by gift, bequest, devise or descent; 2. Acquired with the separate property of either spouse.”
Note: Nevada is a community property state with no state income tax. Community property classification affects federal income tax filing (each spouse reports one-half of community income) and estate planning. NRS 123.220 is the primary community property statute. Nevada also allows community property with right of survivorship (NRS 111.064).
