The Otoe, Missouria, Omaha, Pawnee, and Ponca are some of the earliest Native American tribes to inhabit the modern-day state of Nebraska. The Spanish arrived at this area in the 1690s and started trading with the Apache tribe. These people were known for their active trade networks and lived in defined settlements. The French arrived later and by 1703 they were trading actively with the natives who mostly lived along the Missouri River. Both the French and the Spanish claimed control over this land which saw the Spanish send a troop which was crushed by the French with the help of the Otoes and the Pawnees tribes.

The French surrendered the Louisiana Territory after losing the French and Indian War, which left the British and the Spanish fighting for control over the Mississippi region. The British established trade networks with the natives and were fully functional by 1773. The Spanish retaliated by sending their own expeditions which saw them establish Fort Carlos IV as a permanent settlement. The U.S. Army built Fort Atkinson but was abandoned some years later. The Territory was created by the U.S. government in 1854 together with that of Kansas.

When buying or selling a house here, the real estate closing agent will typically use a Warranty Deed to convey the title of the property to the new owner.

This state primarily follows the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) methodology when surveying the properties and its initial starting point is the Sixth Principal Meridian

If you aren’t paying cash for the home and are instead getting a loan to buy the real estate, then understand that this is primarily a title theory state. This simply means that the raw title of the property will remain in a trust until the lien is ultimately paid off. The most common document that is used here to secure the lender’s interest in the title is called a Mortgage or Deed of Trust.

If for some reason the borrower cannot repay the home loan, then the lender must go to court and start a judicial foreclosure which typically takes about 142 days to complete so long as it remains uncontested. During this process, the mortgage company’s attorney will also typically file a lis pendens against the property so that the public is made aware of the pending foreclosure. Once the judge rules in favor of the mortgage company, then the court will issue a final judgment of foreclosure and the property will either revert back to the bank or will be awarded to the highest bidder at the foreclosure auction. The laws that pertain to the foreclosure process here are mostly found in N.R.S. Chapter 76-1005.

However, if you are a landlord that needs to evict a non-paying tenant, then you would need to reference the Nebr. statutes of Chapter 76, §§ 1401-1449 instead.
