Nebraska Order Appointing The Public Guardian As Guardian is a court order issued by a Nebraska court that appoints the public guardian of the state of Nebraska as the legal guardian of an individual or estate. This order is issued when the court finds that it is in the best interest of the individual or estate to have a public guardian appointed as guardian. This type of guardianship is used when the person does not have a guardian or conservator, or when the appointed guardian or conservator is unable to fulfill their duties. There are two types of Nebraska Order Appointing The Public Guardian As Guardian: the Order Appointing the Public Guardian as Guardian of an Individual and the Order Appointing the Public Guardian as Guardian of an Estate. The Order Appointing the Public Guardian as Guardian of an Individual (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2618) is issued by the court when it finds that a public guardian should be appointed as the guardian for an individual who is unable to care for and protect their own interests. The Order Appointing the Public Guardian as Guardian of an Estate (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2619) is issued by the court when it finds that a public guardian should be appointed as the guardian for an estate of an individual who is deceased or unable to manage their own affairs.
