Nevada Supreme Court Issues Advance Opinion in Favor of Solomon Dwiggins & Freer Client
Rare court opinion regarding trusts and estates marks first of its kind for 2017

LAS VEGAS (February 08, 2017) Typically reticent on matters involving trusts and estates, the Nevada Supreme
Court has issued its first reported opinion for 2017 in the trust and estate context.

On behalf of Solomon Dwiggins & Freer, Ltd., a Las Vegas-based law firm specializing in trust and estate litigation,
attorneys Mark A. Solomon and Joshua M. Hood prevailed upon the court on two issues last month, determined by
the Nevada Supreme Court as matters of first impression.

The first issue presented in the matter of the Beatrice B. Davis Family Heritage Trust regarded the interpretation of
the scope of NRS 155.190(1)(h), which grants appellate court jurisdiction to consider appeals from certain trust and
estate rulings. For this issue, Solomon Dwiggins & Freer attorneys argued that the jurisdiction afforded that statute
was limited to its plain language and could not be broadened. In agreeance, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that an
individual appealing an order from a district court pertaining to the appointment or instruction of a trustee can only
appeal the appointment or instruction of the trustee; the appellate court cannot address the district courts findings
beyond that scope.

The second issue addressed whether an investment trust advisor who accepts appointment of a trust whose situs is in
Nevada consents to personal jurisdiction in Nevada. Here, the Nevada Supreme Court concurred with the
interpretation of Solomon Dwiggins & Freer that NRS 163.5555 subjects a person to personal jurisdiction in the
Nevada courts if he or she accepts the position of investment advisor for a trust domiciled in Nevada.

This decision by the Nevada Supreme Court in favor of Solomon Dwiggins & Freers clients not only serves to
empower trustors in the state of Nevada but also demonstrates our firms continued commitment to zealously
advocate for and represent our clients in all aspects of trust and estate litigation, said Mark Solomon, the firms
founding partner.
