Nebraska's statutory power of attorney (Neb. Rev. Stat. 30-4041) grants authority by hand-initialing. Its subject list is shorter than most: thirteen entries, with no digital-assets subject and no separate safe-deposit line. Knowing what is missing matters as much as knowing what is there.
The thirteen subjects
You initial each subject you want to include. An 'All Preceding Subjects' line grants every one of them at once.
- Real Property; Tangible Personal Property.
- Stocks and Bonds; Commodities and Options.
- Banks and Other Financial Institutions — safe-deposit access rides here.
- Operation of Entity or Business; Insurance and Annuities.
- Estates, Trusts, and Other Beneficial Interests; Claims and Litigation.
- Personal and Family Maintenance; Benefits from Governmental Programs or Civil or Military Service.
- Retirement Plans; Taxes.
No digital-assets subject
Nebraska's statutory form has no line for email, cloud accounts, or other digital property. Nebraska handles fiduciary access to digital assets separately, at Neb. Rev. Stat. 30-501 to 30-525.
If digital access matters to your situation, that is a gap in this form to raise with a Nebraska attorney rather than to improvise around.
The specific-authority block
Seven powers sit outside the general grant and take their own initials: creating or changing trusts, making gifts (limited by Neb. Rev. Stat. 30-4022), changing rights of survivorship, changing beneficiary designations, delegating your agent's authority, waiving a joint and survivor annuity right, and exercising delegable fiduciary powers.
Each can move property out of your estate or change who receives it at your death.
Signing
The principal's signature is acknowledged before a notary public. Witnesses are not required by this statutory form.
Initial the lines yourself. A blank line grants nothing, and nobody can initial on your behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my agent access my online accounts?
Not through this form's subject list — Nebraska's statutory POA has no digital-assets subject. Nebraska addresses fiduciary digital access separately at 30-501 to 30-525.
Is there a safe-deposit box line?
Not a separate one. Safe-deposit access comes through the banks-and-other-financial-institutions subject.
Does this cover medical decisions?
No. Nebraska uses a separate power of attorney for health care under Neb. Rev. Stat. 30-3401 and following.
What if I leave a subject blank?
Your agent does not get it. The form grants by initialing, so blanks withhold.
