Nebraska power of attorney forms are mechanisms by which a person can legally allow someone to act on their behalf in certain situations. Power of attorney is commonly used in Nebraska to allow a person to handle and represent financial and medical matters. Although, a form can be assigned any type of legal power under State law.
