150.400  Apportionment.  Except as otherwise provided by the donor or decedent in writing:

      1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, for gifts that were made subject to the federal gift tax and in cases where the decedent’s estate is insufficient to pay all federal gift taxes due at the time of the decedent’s death, the unpaid federal gift tax must be borne on a pro rata basis by those receiving the transfers that triggered the tax in the proportion that the value of the property, interest or benefit of each such person bears to the total value of the property subject to the federal gift tax.

      2.  The federal generation-skipping transfer tax must be borne on a pro rata basis by those persons receiving the transfers that triggered the tax in the proportion that the value of the property, interest or benefit of each such person bears to the total value of the property subject to the federal generation-skipping transfer tax.

      3.  The application of exclusions, exemptions, deferrals or other provisions of the law available at the time of each transfer must be applied in chronological order to the transfers to which they relate.

      4.  To the extent issues remain unresolved after applying the principles set forth in subsections 1, 2 and 3, the provisions of NRS 150.290 to 150.380, inclusive:
