Too often, people believe estate planning is only necessary for the very wealthy. This is a misnomer; everyone can benefit from having an estate plan in place. An accident can happen at any time and result in the loss of life. If you have assets you own as an individual, and not in joint tenancy with another person, the lack of a will could mean your loved ones will have to wait for the probate process before they have access to those assets.
When you have been named executor of an estate, generally because your loved one has left a will, you may need assistance with the probate process in Nebraska. While there is a simplified probate process, it is generally meant for small estates, those valued at less than $50,000, this does not apply to many people.
Every year, thousands of couples make the decision to file for divorce. In addition to the legal process, there are other issues which must be addressed including property division, child custody, child support, visitation, and other issues. Unfortunately, divorce is a contentious process in most case; it is imperative you have an attorney working on your behalf to ensure your rights are protected and your best interests are considered.
