Call the NV state bar. In NY, there is a process for this, and I am sure NV has the same idea.

If you live in New York, and your property is located in New York, and you need to change something about your will, it is probably a good idea to make a new one. "Amending" (creating a codicil) a will may be only slightly less complicated and costly then re-doing the will, depending upon the lawyer you use. When you make a new will, the old one is automatically revoked by the language in your new will. If you truly want to amend your old will, find a new lawyer. Any good lawyer can help you- it doesn't have to be the original lawyer.
