FAQs

Nebraska does not require an attorney to complete a real estate transaction. However, many buyers and sellers choose to involve one, particularly for complex deals or title issues. Attorney-drafted templates give you a professionally prepared starting point.

Fee simple is the most complete form of ownership in real property — the owner holds the land and buildings outright, with no conditions limiting the right to sell or pass it on. Most residential purchases convey a fee simple interest.

A properly executed and notarized deed is the core document for transferring real property. Depending on the transaction, you may also need a purchase agreement, settlement statement, title commitment, and county recording forms.

A leasehold is the right to use and occupy property for a defined term under a lease agreement — the tenant holds a leasehold interest, while the landlord retains ownership. At the end of the lease, the right to possess the property returns to the owner.
