The Nebraska last will and testament is a legally binding document that outlines the testator’s desires for the allocation of their possessions, the care of their children, and other affairs after their death. A personal representative, legally referred to as the executor, is a designated individual who has the responsibility of supervising the allocation of the estate in accordance with the provisions outlined in the will.
