How Our

Estate Planning Attorneys Can Help

Trusts & Wills

We draft wills and establish revocable and irrevocable trusts tailored to your goals. These documents make your wishes clear, minimize conflict, and can help avoid probate.

Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney allows someone you trust to handle financial or legal matters if you cannot. We prepare durable powers of attorney that protect your interests.

Health Care Directives

Living wills and health care directives, like a durable health care power of attorney, ensure your medical wishes are respected. We help you put plans in writing so your family and providers know how to proceed.

Probate-Avoidance Strategies

From Transfer on Death Deeds to trust-based planning, our estate planning attorneys create strategies that minimize court involvement. This saves time, cost, and stress for your loved ones.

Business Succession Planning

For business owners, estate planning attorneys must address more than family. We assist with succession planning that balances tax, ownership, and family considerations, ensuring smooth transitions.

Estate Planning FAQs

What’s the difference between a will and a trust?

A will directs how property is distributed after death, while a trust can manage assets during life and help your family avoid probate.

Do I really need an estate plan if I don’t own much?

Yes. Even modest estates benefit from a will, health care directive, and power of attorney to protect your wishes and reduce family stress.

How does a Transfer on Death Deed work?

It allows real estate to pass directly to beneficiaries without going through probate. We help prepare and file the deed to meet Minnesota requirements.

Can estate planning help business owners?

Absolutely. A strong estate plan integrates business succession, protecting both the company and the family.
