Besides these two things, each principal will need to follow specific recommendations put forth in the Nebraska Uniform Power of Attorney Act. §2: 

  • The chosen attorney-in-fact cannot make decisions based on the health of the principal unless otherwise specified. This includes the inability to terminate life-support. 
  • When drawing up a power of attorney form, principals should try and stay as close to the format presented in the statute as possible 
  • If applicable, a power of attorney form is needed to designate health-based decisions to the chosen attorney-in-fact 
  • Any power of attorney form can be terminated at any time by the principal 

Why Use a POA Form in Nebraska

Several situations could call for the use of Nebraska power of attorney forms. While some of the most common reasons are associated with elderly parents with conditions that result in the deterioration of their health, other cases involve the need for someone to take over and act as the assignee for a short period. Some cases like these include dealing with temporary guardianship where one party may need to step in and act as the parent for a set amount of time. There are even options for particular business such as real estate or tax preparations 

The thing about life is that it tends to be highly unpredictable at all times. We never know what the day may bring and what new kinds of things may come along and make our day-to-day life turn. This could be a medical condition or some unexpected business deal where you cannot step in and take control.
