What kind of person would you like shepherding your estate into the future? How can you know what will happen, to make sure your wishes won't be contested in court and that your ne'er-do-well nephew won't come in and make your whole family crazy? Unfortunately, no legal document can guarantee or ensure the future with 100% accuracy. Thankfully however, there are ways to come close. One of the handiest and most effective tool for planning your estate in Nebraska is what is called a living trust.
Avoid probate, astronomical legal fees and ensure more of your total estate makes it to your heirs instead of getting tied up in court. When you create a Nebraska living trust, you create a legal entity separate from yourself. You then become what is called a "grantor" by transferring ownership of your major property to this entity. You still retain control of your assets, since grantors usually appoint themselves the initial trustee. When you pass away, you personally do not lose ownership of your assets, since they are owned by the trust. Instead, the trust gives control over assets to your designee.
Each state handles living trusts differently. At LegalZoom, we accurately tailor your living trust to the needs and requirements of Nebraska. You can rest assured that with correctly prepared, customized documents, you can meet every one of your estate management goals, without paying unnecessary legal fees.
