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. After signing under the requirements of the State, the form may be legally used.
