Minnesota Estate Planning
Wills and Trusts

Wills and trusts are used for various purposes but mainly to ensure an orderly transfer of your property to others upon your death, to ensure continued property management and creditor protection for the surviving family members, to provide for charities, and to minimize taxes.

If you die without a will the laws of Intestacy govern how your assets are distributed. As a part of their life and death planning every person should have a will or trust, health care directive and power of attorney. It is especially important to provide for the care of minor children through guardianship provisions in a will or a trust. Life changes such as divorce, marriage, or the birth of a child also require modification of current wills or trusts. Our attorneys are knowledgeable in drafting the documents needed to protect your family and assets.
