1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a nonjudicial settlement agreement is effective when the agreement has been signed by all indispensable parties. A party who is represented by another person pursuant to NRS 164.038 shall be deemed to have signed an agreement when the person who represents that party has signed the agreement.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if an indispensable party neither signs the agreement nor provides the trustee with a written objection, the trustee may follow the procedure provided in NRS 164.725 by giving a notice of proposed action to all indispensable parties who have not signed the settlement agreement, where the proposed action is to accept and comply with the nonjudicial settlement agreement.
3. Failure to object to the notice of proposed action constitutes acceptance of the settlement agreement. If the trustee is personally aware that an indispensable party, or a person representing that indispensable party under NRS 164.038, has not received the notice of proposed action, the trustee may not proceed to honor the agreement pursuant to subsection 6 of NRS 164.725, but may proceed under subsection 7 of NRS 164.725 as if that indispensable party had objected. Once all indispensable parties have agreed to a settlement agreement as provided in subsection 1 or 2, it is irrevocable.
4. Any indispensable party may petition the court for an order approving a nonjudicial settlement agreement under the procedure set forth in NRS 164.015. In order to approve a nonjudicial settlement, the court must find that the agreement complies with the requirements of this section and NRS 164.940.
5. For the purposes of this section, "indispensable parties" refers to all interested persons, as defined in NRS 132.185, whose consent would be required in order to achieve a binding settlement were the settlement to be approved by the court.
