Nebraska Power of Attorney (General) is a legal document that allows an individual (known as the principal) to appoint someone else (known as the agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on their behalf. The document grants the agent the authority to take any action that the principal could have taken if they were present. This includes making financial decisions, managing property, executing documents, and representing the principal in legal proceedings. There are three types of Nebraska Power of Attorney (General): durable, springing, and special. A durable Power of Attorney will remain in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated, while a springing Power of Attorney is activated only upon the occurrence of a specified event. Finally, a special Power of Attorney is limited to the power and authority specifically granted by the principal.
