OPINION NO. 2021-01

UNCLAIMED PROPERTY; JUSTICE
COURTS; INTERPLEADER: Funds
deposited  with  the  court in   an
interpleader action are distributable
when there ceases to be a justiciable
controversy as to the ownership of
those funds. From that point forward,
if the funds are not claimed within one
(1)  year,   they   are   presumed
abandoned per NRS 120A.500(1)().
Once   the   funds   are  presumed
abandoned, they must be transferred
to the Unclaimed Property Division.

Dear Chief Judge Saragosa:
In your capacity as Chief Justice of the Justice Court, Las Vegas
Township, you have requested an opinion from the Office of the Attorney
General regarding the proper disposition of monies deposited with the court
in interpleader cases, whether such monies would properly escheat to the
State, and if so, through what mechanism.
