Nebraska Probate Attorney

In Nebraska, estate cases are heard in one of the 93 County Courts. These courts are located in 12 districts and presided over by 59 judges. While Nebraska does not have a separate probate court you still have to go through the procedure. It is highly recommended that you talk to a Nebraska probate attorney before you attempt to get an estate through probate.

The probate laws are governed at a state level which means Nebraska goes by a unique set of codes that must be followed. So if you are in Lincoln, Omaha or anywhere else in the state the probate process will be the same.

Many times it is acceptable to get a small estate through probate without the use of an attorney. Using forms provided by Legal Zoom can get this process started for you. If at anytime you are not sure of exactly what you are doing talk to an attorney. Small mistakes could turn out to be costly.

For larger estates and anything to do with custody of children always have your case prepared by a qualified Nebraska probate attorney. An estate only goes through probate one time, you need to get it right the first time.

If you taking an estate into court where the deceased was testate, meaning died with a legitimate will, things should move along fairly smoothly. When the deceased was intestate, without a will, it could be a long drawn out process.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
