FAQ
To make a will self-proved in Nebraska, the testator and witnesses must sign a self proving affidavit before a notary public. An affidavit is a sworn statement, and a notary public is an officer of the court. Therefore, an affidavit before a notary public is like making a statement in court.
Nebraska recognizes holographic (handwritten) wills so long as the material provisions, signature, and date are in the testator's handwriting. In Nebraska, a holographic will does not need to have witnesses in order to be valid.
No, in Nebraska, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Nebraska allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.
A will or testament is a legal document that expresses a person's (testator) wishes as to how their property (estate) is to be distributed after their death and as to which person (executor) is to manage the property until its final distribution.
