NE Legislative Bill 758

Legislation

State: Nebraska
Signed: April 14, 2026

Effective: July 17, 2026

Summary

Legislative Bill 758 provides provisions related to nontestamentary transfers to non-profit organizations and requires an affidavit to obtain property or information about the property to be signed before a Notary.

Affects

Creates an as yet uncodified new section in and amends Sections 30-2715, 60-142.12, and 60-149 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes.

Changes
  1. Authorizes a tax‑exempt charitable organization that is a beneficiary of a decedent’s property interest to present an affidavit to obtain the property or information about it.
  2. Permits the affidavit to be presented to the holder of the property interest or to any person with information about the property.
  3. Requires the affidavit to be signed by an authorized representative under penalty of perjury before a Notary Public and the representative to certify that the information in the affidavit is true and correct.
Analysis

Legislative Bill 758 establishes a streamlined, affidavit-based mechanism for charitable organizations to claim property interests or obtain information when they are beneficiaries of a decedent’s property. By allowing a qualified 501(c)(3) organization to proceed without appointment of a personal representative, the provision reduces administrative friction and delay, particularly in situations involving small or nonprobate assets held by third parties. The affidavit necessary to receive possession or information about the property must be signed and certified as true and correct by the authorized representative of the charity before a Notary.
