‘Til Death Do Us Part’: Understanding Elective Share Rights and Premarital Agreements

| Koley Jessen Seminar

Join Lisa Lehan and Kate Hughes as they explain spousal elective share rights under Nebraska law, which grant a surviving spouse a statutory portion of the deceased spouse’s estate, regardless of the provisions stated in the decedent’s Last Will and Testament. We will examine how these rights can be contractually modified or waived through a valid premarital agreement. Attendees will gain insight into premarital agreements as an important estate planning tool, particularly for clients who are business owners or have blended families.
