Change provisions relating to certain judicial hearings and duties of guardians under the Nebraska Probate Code

Nebraska's LB 1178 allows people under guardianship (including those declared incapacitated, minors, or protected persons) to attend court hearings remotely instead of in person. It updates guardian duties by requiring backup "standby guardians" to be named in advance (with specific training), and permits courts to award legal costs and fees to winning parties in related cases. The bill amends key sections of the Nebraska Probate Code to modernize hearing accessibility and streamline guardian transition processes. These changes directly affect individuals in guardianship cases, their guardians, and court proceedings involving their care.
