Limited Power of Attorney - Nebraska
LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY (NEBRASKA)
Before you use this: Complete the transaction, every permitted act, property, amount limit, and end date before signing. The principal must sign and acknowledge this power. If it authorizes a land transaction, coordinate recording and any later recorded revocation with the register of deeds.
1. Principal and agent
I, [PRINCIPAL FULL LEGAL NAME], of [ADDRESS], appoint [AGENT FULL LEGAL NAME], of [ADDRESS], as my agent only for the transaction stated below.
2. Exact authority granted
Transaction and counterparty: [DESCRIBE THE SINGLE TRANSACTION AND OTHER PARTY]
Acts the agent may perform and documents the agent may sign: [LIST EACH ACT AND DOCUMENT]
Property, account, or asset: [IDENTIFY EXACTLY; FOR LAND ATTACH ITS LEGAL DESCRIPTION]
Maximum amount the agent may pay, receive, or commit: $[AMOUNT / NONE]
Additional conditions: [STATE CONDITIONS / NONE]
The agent may obtain information and communicate with the identified counterparty only as needed to perform the listed acts. No general subject-matter authority is incorporated by reference. A blank act or property description grants no authority. The agent may not transfer or encumber land unless that act and parcel are expressly stated above.
3. Powers withheld
The agent may not create, amend, revoke, or terminate an inter vivos trust; make a gift; create or change survivorship rights or beneficiary designations; delegate this authority; waive a joint-and-survivor annuity or retirement survivor benefit; exercise delegable fiduciary powers; or renounce or disclaim property, including a power of appointment. None of the powers listed in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-4024(1) is granted. This power also does not authorize health-care decisions, a will, or use of my property for the agent's personal benefit.
4. Effective date, durability, and end
This power is effective when I sign and acknowledge it. It is durable; my later incapacity does not terminate it. It terminates when the stated transaction is completed or, if earlier, at [TIME] on [EXPIRATION DATE]. It may terminate sooner under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-4010, including on my death or revocation. The agent must stop acting upon learning that authority has ended.
This instrument does not revoke an earlier power of attorney unless I identify it here for revocation: [EARLIER POWER TO REVOKE / NONE].
5. Agent's duties
If the agent acts, the agent must follow my known reasonable expectations or otherwise act in my best interest, act in good faith, and stay within the grant. The agent must keep records of receipts, disbursements, and transactions under this power and comply with the other duties of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-4014.
6. Principal's signature
I sign this limited power of attorney on [__/__/____] at [CITY, STATE].
Principal's signature: ____________________________________
Printed name: [PRINCIPAL FULL LEGAL NAME]
7. Acknowledgment
State of [STATE], County of [COUNTY]. This document was acknowledged before me on [__/__/____] by [PRINCIPAL FULL LEGAL NAME].
Notary public or other authorized officer: ______________________________
Printed name: [NAME] Official seal: [SEAL]
Commission expires: [__/__/____]
8. Agent's receipt (optional)
I acknowledge receipt and will act only within this power's limits.
Agent's signature: ____________________________________ Date: [__/__/____]
9. Real-estate recording
For a Nebraska land transaction, coordinate recording with the register of deeds in the county where the land lies under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-245. If a power to convey or otherwise affect land has been recorded, § 76-246 requires an executed, acknowledged or proved, certified revocation to be filed for record in the same county before that recorded power is revoked by the principal's act.

Estate planning documents decide what happens to your property, your children, and your medical care when you cannot make those decisions yourself. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives each serve different purposes and each have to meet state law requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization. A document that looks fine on the page but was not executed correctly can be rejected in probate, which is exactly when it is too late to fix.
