Omaha Will Attorney - Wills & Last Testaments

Clarity For Your Loved Ones, No Guesswork

A will directs who receives your property, names guardians for minor children, and simplifies next steps for family. Without one, Nebraska intestacy rules decide distribution-which may not reflect your wishes. From downtown Omaha near the Old Market to Midtown Crossing and Blackstone, Decker Law Offices helps you create a clear plan that honors your priorities.

Nebraska Will Requirements

What Makes A Will Valid In Nebraska

In Nebraska, a will must be in writing, signed by the person making it, and witnessed by two individuals; using disinterested witnesses helps avoid challenges. Handwritten (holographic) wills generally aren't valid here unless executed with formal witness requirements-another reason to work with an attorney.

What a Will Can Cover

Beyond "Who Gets What"

A well-drafted will can: direct asset distribution; name a personal representative (executor); nominate guardians for minors; create testamentary trusts; and express funeral wishes. Decker Law Offices explains options in plain language and builds a document that fits your family.

Our Will Drafting Process

Listen, Advise, Draft, Execute

We gather your goals and family details, identify contingencies, and draft a will that's clear and compliant. Then we coordinate a proper signing ceremony with witnesses and provide guidance on storing originals and sharing copies with key people.

Updating Your Will

Keep Your Plan Current As Life Changes

Review your will after marriage, divorce, the birth or adoption of a child, a move, or substantial asset changes. Nebraska law may affect gifts to an ex-spouse after divorce, but proactive updates prevent confusion. We handle codicils or complete revisions as needed.
