In 2007, Nevada amended the statute controlling distribution among deceased siblings' children, such that all of the shares intended for deceased siblings with living children were combined and then equally divided among those living children (the decedent's nieces and nephews). 

In 2009, NRS 134.060 was amended again to require that the shares of deceased siblings with living issue are divided only among the issue of each respective deceased sibling.  This amendment also expands the recipients of a deceased sibling's share to "issue" rather than just "children", which extends the distribution to the decedent's grand-nieces/nephews and great-grand-nieces/nephews, etc. when there are deceased nieces or nephews.

Just as with the prior and present form of the statute, 134.060 only applies to instances where the decedent has at least one living sibling.  In the absence of at least one living sibling, the decedent's intestate estate is divided among the decedent's next of kin in accordance with 134.070.
