This bill amends the Nebraska Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act by updating sections 76-3401 and 76-3410 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska. It introduces new provisions regarding the required warnings on transfer on death deeds and insurance policies related to certain real properties. Specifically, it mandates that transfer on death deeds created after the effective date of the act must include a warning about the potential expiration of property insurance coverage thirty days after the transferor's death unless the designated beneficiary is added as an insured party. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the designated beneficiary will be considered an insured party under any property insurance policy from the date of the transferor's death until certain conditions are met.
The bill also harmonizes existing provisions and repeals the original sections 76-3401 and 76-3410. It ensures that no recorded transfer on death deed will be invalidated due to defects in the wording of the required warnings. Furthermore, it establishes a timeline for actions to set aside a transfer on death deed based on the requirement of disinterested witnesses, providing specific deadlines for such actions. Overall, the bill aims to enhance clarity and protection for beneficiaries involved in real property transfers upon death.
