Well thought out response. The probate court in Clark County has public administrators on staff. Regrettably intestate deaths are not that uncommon. There is a good chance that the probate court will assign a staff member to handle the disposition of the estate. The first duty for the administrator will be to find a qualifying next of kin. When that person is found the administrator will assist them in starting the probate process. If an heir is not found there is a good chance of escheat, the estate is frozen and in Nevada potential heirs have six years to file a claim before it reverts to the state. Bill's friends may be able to file for simple summary administration if the overall estate is small, and may have good standing to do so given the circumstances, but if that is refused then this limbo could go on for a while. When Michael died Bill had control of the servers and the tech savvy to keep the site going. Now some very smart and tech savvy gentlemen have the materials to continue to keep the sites going. If a qualifying next of kin is found, perhaps a purchase arrangement can be made, but we should be aware that if the administrator/court catch on to what we do here, they will probably shut us down. Prostitution may be legal in Nevada, but it's not elsewhere and the 8th district probate court would have no interest in facilitating illegal activity.
