What Is a Last Will and Testament?

Nebraska defines a will as “means any instrument, including any codicil or other testamentary instrument complying with sections 30-2326 to 30-2338, which disposes of personal or real property, appoints a personal representative, conservator, guardian, or trustee, revokes or revises an earlier executed testamentary instrument, or encompasses any one or more of such objects or purposes.” (§ 30-2209(53))

Requirements

To execute a valid will, individuals must:

  • The person making the will must be mentally sound and at least eighteen (18) years old. (§ 30-2326)
  • The will must be signed by two competent individuals acting as witnesses. (§ 30-2327)
  • The will must be in writing. (§ 30-2327)

Filing

Nebraska does not mandate filing a will before death. However, some probate courts may offer residents the option to deposit their wills for safekeeping.
