Nevada
Nevada mortgage foreclosures are nonjudicial trustee sales under NRS Chapter 107. The trustee distributes the proceeds in statutory order, notifies parties with recorded interests when a surplus remains, and can deposit disputed funds with the district court. HOA foreclosures follow their own priority rules.

Nevada mortgage foreclosures are usually nonjudicial trustee sales under NRS Chapter 107. The trustee applies the sale proceeds in the order set by NRS 107.080 and related statutes, and if a surplus remains the trustee must give notice to those with recorded interests and either distribute the funds or deposit them with the court for a judge to decide.

Deadlines
Nevada surplus timing is driven by the trustee's notice after the sale rather than one universal calendar date, and the notice itself sets the response window. Read the trustee's letter and act on its stated deadline.
