Foster Care<br />
In re Interest of Antonio S. & Priscilla S., 270 Neb. 792, 708 N.W.2d 614 (2005)<br />
Generally, custody of a minor ward is an incident of guardianship.<br />
Where a guardianship is established under the <strong>Nebraska</strong> Juvenile Code as a means<br />
of providing permanency for adjudicated children who have been in the temporary<br />
custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, custody is necessarily<br />
transferred from the department to the appointed guardian(s) by operation of law.<br />
Guardianship of Minors<br />
§ 30-2605 Status of guardian of minor; general.<br />
A person becomes a guardian of a minor by acceptance of a testamentary appointment or upon<br />
appointment by the court. The guardianship status continues until terminated, without regard to<br />
the location from time to time of the guardian and minor ward.<br />

§ 30-2606 Testamentary appointment of guardian of minor; notice.<br />
The parent of a minor may appoint by will a guardian of an unmarried minor. Subject to the right<br />
of the minor under section 30-2607, a testamentary appointment becomes effective upon filing<br />
the guardian's acceptance in the court in which the will is probated if, before acceptance, both<br />
parents are dead or the surviving parent is adjudged incapacitated. If both parents are dead, an<br />
effective appointment by the parent who died later has priority. This state recognizes a<br />
testamentary appointment effected by filing the guardian's acceptance under a will probated in<br />
another state which is the testator's domicile. Upon acceptance of appointment, written notice of<br />
acceptance must be given by the guardian to the minor and to the person having his care, or to<br />
his nearest adult relation.<br />

§ 30-2607 Objection by minor of fourteen or older to testamentary appointment.<br />
A minor of fourteen or more years may prevent an appointment of his testamentary guardian<br />
from becoming effective, or may cause a previously accepted appointment to terminate, by filing<br />
with the court in which the will is probated a written objection to the appointment before it is<br />
accepted or within thirty days after notice of its acceptance. An objection may be withdrawn. An<br />
objection does not preclude appointment by the court in a proper proceeding of the testamentary<br />
nominee, or any other suitable person.<br />
