Answer:
Yes, an adopted child is considered issue for purposes of inheritance in Nevada. The statutory definition of issue includes children, which is defined as those entitled to inherit under state succession laws. An adopted child is entitled to inherit from the adopted parent(s), so would therefore be considered issue.
