Signing A Will
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2327 — in writing, signed, and two witnesses, or entirely in the maker's own hand
Writing, signature, two witnesses. A will is in writing, signed by the maker or by someone at the maker's direction and in their presence, and signed by at least two people who each witnessed the signing or the maker's acknowledgment.
A will that is not witnessed is still valid as a holographic will if the signature, the material provisions, and an indication of the date are in the maker's handwriting.
A will can be made self-proved with the maker's acknowledgment and the witnesses' affidavits before a notary, so the witnesses need not be found later.
Where no will exists, the estate passes by the shares in the code. A particular will is a question for a licensed Nebraska attorney.
