No, Nebraska mechanics lien generally cannot be extended. Nebraska mechanics liens are effective for 2 years after they've been filed. If more than 2 years pass after filing a Nebraska lien without a mechanics lien enforcement action being filed, then the lien will be invalid and unenforceable. If there's someone to send it to/someone who might pay the bill, then a Notice of Intent to Foreclose could be useful for getting paid. However, if the owner has passed and if there's no one representing the estate, foreclosing the lien may become necessary to recover payment.
For help determining what next steps to take, it'd be wise to consult a Nebraska construction lawyer. You can begin the search for one here: Find a Nebraska Construction Lawyer.
