Nebraska Last Will and Testament FAQ
Common questions about last will and testaments under Nebraska law.
Does Nebraska have an inheritance tax?
Yes. Nebraska is one of only six states with an inheritance tax. Close relatives (spouse, children, parents) pay 1% on amounts above their exemption; more distant relatives and non-relatives pay higher rates up to 18%. The will should account for this tax burden on beneficiaries.
How many witnesses are needed for a Nebraska will?
Two witnesses are required for a formally executed will under §30-2327. Alternatively, a holographic will (entirely in the testator's handwriting and signed) requires no witnesses under §30-2328.
