Complete·2/26/25

Nebraska LB85 modifies requirements for collecting personal property of decedents' estates by affidavit.

Nebraska LB85 amends the process for collecting personal property of decedents' estates by affidavit. It allows a successor to claim personal property if the estate's value is under $100,000, thirty days have passed since the decedent's death, and no application for a personal representative is pending. The successor must present an affidavit with specific details and swear to its truthfulness. The bill also allows the successor to endorse or negotiate negotiable instruments payable to the decedent. It repeals the original section 30-24,125, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024.
