(a) If other assets of the estate of the transferor are
insufficient to pay all claims against the transferor's estate, statutory
allowances to the transferor's surviving spouse and children, and the expenses
of administration, a transfer under the Nebraska Uniform Real Property Transfer
on Death Act subjects the beneficiary to personal liability as provided in
this section to the extent needed to pay all claims against the transferor's
estate, statutory allowances to the transferor's surviving spouse and children,
and the expenses of administration.
(b)(1) A beneficiary
who receives property through a transfer on death deed upon the death of the
transferor is liable to account to the personal representative of the transferor's
estate for a proportionate share of the fair market value of the equity in
the interest received to the extent necessary to discharge the claims and
allowances described in subsection (a) of this section remaining unpaid after
application of the transferor's estate. For purposes of this subdivision (b)(1),
the fair market value shall be determined as of the date of death of the transferor.
For purposes of this subdivision (b)(1), the beneficiary's proportionate share
means the proportionate share of all nonprobate transfers recovered by the

estate and statutory allowances may not be commenced unless the personal representative
has received a written demand by the surviving spouse, a creditor, a child,
or a person acting for a child of the transferor. The proceeding must be commenced
within one year after the death of the transferor.
(c) A beneficiary against
whom a proceeding to account is brought may join as a party to the proceeding

same transferor or any other asset of the transferor subject to sections 30-2726 , 30-2743 , and 30-3850 .
(d) Assets recovered by the personal representative pursuant to
this section shall be administered as part of the transferor's estate.

in this section shall be construed to limit the rights of creditors under
