Per NRS 361.610 (5), if a person entitled to receive reconveyance of the property pursuant to NRS 361.585 makes a claim in writing for the excess proceeds within 1 year after the deed is recorded, the county treasurer shall pay the claim or the proper portion of the claim over to the person if the county treasurer is satisfied that the person is entitled to it.

The following documents are required to claim excess proceeds from a Clark County Trustee Auction:

  1. A certified copy of the deed indicating ownership at the time of deeding to Trustee Clark County.
  2. A valid Government issued picture ID (i.e.: driver's license).
  3. A copy of your social security card.
  4. A completed and signed IRS Form W-9 for all claimants.
  5. A notarized Release of Funds form from the Treasurer's Office.
    1. All vested owners must fill out an application.
    2. Pursuant to NRS 361.610, if the funds are being requested through a recovery agent, a copy of the contract assigning a portion of the benefits to the recovery agent must accompany the application. The agreed upon percentage of the funds, not more than 10 percent of the total remaining excess proceeds of the sale due that person, must be included in the contract.
    3. A copy of the partnership agreement defining the powers and duties of partners. Claims must be made by the director of the corporation. The claimant must provide evidence that they are a director of the corporation (i.e. records filed with Nevada Secretary of State, minutes of meetings showing election of the directors). Note: If a partnership or corporation shows a revoked status with the Nevada Secretary of State, they may not transact business. Pursuant to NRS 78.175 (4) all property and assets of a defaulting corporation must be held in trust by the directors of the corporation.
