In Nebraska, a single-member LLC can dissolve just 90 days after its owner’s death unless the family takes swift legal action. That means bank accounts freeze, contracts void, and hard-earned value disappears. With the right business succession plan—operating agreement, banking access, and continuity instructions—you can protect both your family and your legacy.

Who manages your email, social media, and cryptocurrency when you’re gone? A digital executor is a vital part of a modern Nebraska estate plan, ensuring your online life is secure and your loved ones aren’t locked out.

When a loved one dies without a will in Nebraska, their home isn’t automatically passed to the nearest family member. Instead, Nebraska’s intestacy laws determine who inherits. That might mean a surviving spouse, children, or even more distant relatives depending on the situation. Most inherited houses go through probate, though small estates under $100,000 may qualify for a simplified transfer. The way the home is titled—such as joint tenancy or a transfer-on-death deed—can also bypass probate entirely. Nebraska also imposes an inheritance tax, making it one of the few states to do so. Understanding these rules helps families avoid costly mistakes and resolve disputes more smoothly.

Moving is also the right time to revisit powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designations to make sure your entire estate plan functions as intended under Nebraska law.

Thinking about naming your adult child as co-trustee of your trust? It might feel like a smart way to simplify the future—but without the right structure, it can lead to confusion, liability, and even family conflict.
