Nebraska

Neb. Rev. Stat. §30-2330: any individual generally competent to be a witness may act as a witness to a will, and a will or any provision of it is not invalid because the will is signed by an interested witness. Nebraska adds one limit to the UPC rule: unless there is at least one disinterested witness to the will, an interested witness may receive property under it only up to the intestate share that witness would have taken had the testator died intestate at the date of death. On a two-witness Nebraska will, a gift to a witness therefore stands whenever the other witness takes nothing under the will; the cap bites only when both witnesses are beneficiaries.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION This power of attorney authorizes another person (your agent) to make decisions concerning your property for you (the principal). Your agent will be able to make decisions and act with respect to your property (including your money) whether or not you are able to act for yourself. The meaning of authority over subjects listed on this form is explained in the Nebraska Uniform Power of Attorney Act. This power of attorney does not authorize the agent to make health care decisions for you. You should select someone you trust to serve as your agent. Unless you specify otherwise, generally the agent's authority will continue until you die or revoke the power of attorney or the agent resigns or is unable to act for you. This form will not revoke a power of attorney previously executed by you unless you add that the previous power of attorney is revoked or that all other powers of attorney are revoked by this power of attorney. Your agent is entitled to reasonable compensation unless you state otherwise in the Special Instructions. This form provides for designation of one agent. If you wish to name more than one agent you may name a coagent in the Special Instructions. Coagents are not required to act together unless you include that requirement in the Special Instructions. If your agent is unable or unwilling to act for you, your power of attorney will end unless you have named a successor agent. You may also name a second successor agent. This power of attorney becomes effective immediately unless you state otherwise in the Special Instructions. If you have questions about the power of attorney or the authority you are granting to your agent, you should seek legal advice before signing this form.

Neb. Rev. Stat. §30-3405(1)(a): a person may not witness a power of attorney for health care if, at the time of witnessing, that person is the principal's spouse, parent, child, grandchild, sibling, presumptive heir, known devisee, attending physician, mental health treatment team member, romantic or dating partner, or attorney in fact, or is an employee of a life or health insurance provider for the principal. Under §30-3405(1)(b) no more than one of the two witnesses may be an administrator or employee of a health care provider who is caring for or treating the principal. Under §30-3404 the document must be witnessed and signed by at least two adults, or signed and acknowledged before a notary public; a witness must be at least 19, the age of majority under §43-2101. Each witness makes the written declaration prescribed by §30-3408.
