Change provisions relating to nontestamentary transfers on death, and evidence of ownership to obtain a certificate of title and provide a method for a beneficiary charitable organization to receive property or information
Nebraska's LB 758 simplifies how tax-exempt charities (501(c)(3) organizations) claim property they were designated to receive after a person's death. The bill requires charities to submit a detailed affidavit with supporting documents (like IRS tax-exempt status proof and the decedent's death certificate) to the property holder or information provider. Property holders must pay, deliver, or transfer the property to the charity within 30 days, or provide requested information. If they fail to comply, the charity can sue within one year and may recover damages, attorney fees, or a $10,000 civil penalty. This directly affects charities named as beneficiaries in wills, insurance policies, retirement accounts, or other non-testamentary transfers.
