What to Know About Estate Planning Costs in Nebraska

Nebraska has no estate or inheritance tax at the state level but does impose a county inheritance tax with rates from 1% (Class 1 beneficiaries) to 18% (remote relatives/non-relatives). This county-level inheritance tax is unique. Simple wills $300-$700, plans $1,300-$3,200.
