Dont cal me but call a local lawyer who knows NV law. If there is no will, you may stand to inherit, IF THERE IS PROPERTY TO INHERIT. You would under PA law but I dont know NV law. The lawyer can advise you as to whether it is advisable to open an estate. If debt exceeds assests and it will be an insovlent estate, you may want to leave it alone as it might be an extreme hassel to get involved with. Again, go over it with a local lawyer.
