This bill amends the Nebraska Probate Code, specifically sections 30-2628 and 30-2655, to update provisions related to guardians and conservators. Notably, it introduces a new requirement that a guardian shall not accept an appointment for an individual if they are already serving as a guardian or conservator for twenty individuals. Similarly, it establishes that a conservator is also prohibited from accepting an appointment if they are serving as a guardian or conservator for twenty individuals. These changes aim to ensure that guardians and conservators are not overburdened and can adequately fulfill their responsibilities.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions regarding the powers, rights, and duties of guardians and conservators, including the requirement for guardians to report on the condition of their wards and the management of their estates. The bill also emphasizes the need for court permission for certain actions, such as changing a protected person's place of abode outside Nebraska. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, reflecting the updates made by this legislation.
