Nebraska Power of Attorney Forms provides a method by which a person can legally allow someone to take his or her place in certain situations. There are forms that allow you to appoint someone to handle and represent your financial matters or more specific matters. For instance, one form enables you to appoint someone to represent your health matters while another form serves to appoint someone to handle your tax matters. In all cases, you are giving someone power over your decision making power and (in some cases) your property, so it is vitally important that the person you choose is someone you trust to act in your place.
