If you die in the state of Nevada without a will, you are said to have passed away intestacy. Your personal assets will be divided among your family according to intestate succession laws. What your spouse receives depends on how the two of you owned the property, as separate or community property. Community property is acquired while the couple was married, and separate property is acquired before marriage. Gifts and inheritances given solely to the deceased are separate property, even if acquired during marriage.
