Why Estate Planning is Essential
Protect Loved Ones and Clarify Your Wishes
Parents of minor children need guardianship designations, business owners require succession plans, and homeowners benefit from organized asset transfer; even with modest estates, documents like healthcare power of attorney prevent confusion and help your family act quickly when it counts.
Nebraska-Specific Considerations
Inheritance Tax, Probate Rules, and Formalities
Nebraska counties impose inheritance tax with rates that depend on the relationship to the decedent, and many estates require probate unless they qualify as small estates; proper will execution needs two witnesses and strict formalities-details that our team manages with care.

Answers To Common Questions
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will directs assets through probate; a trust can manage assets during life and often avoid probate.
Do I need a trust or is a will enough?
It depends on your assets and goals-we'll advise with your priorities in mind.
What happens if I die without a will in Nebraska?
State intestacy law controls who inherits, which may not reflect your wishes.
