Wills & Trusts

My trust and will attorney services are designed to provide you with essential tools for asset distribution and legacy protection. I’ll work with you to establish a will that outlines your wishes clearly.

I also offer trust solutions, including revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, and charitable trusts. These can streamline the transfer process, minimize taxes, and help your estate to avoid probate.

Powers of Attorney

Protecting yourself in case of incapacitation is crucial. I offer comprehensive durable power of attorney and healthcare power of attorney services that enable you to designate trusted individuals to manage your finances, healthcare decisions, or both if you become unable to do so yourself.

Healthcare Directives & Living Wills

As your living wills attorney, I’ll work with you to document your healthcare preferences and end-of-life wishes. Healthcare directives and living wills offer clear guidance for your loved ones and medical providers to prevent difficult decisions in challenging times. I’ll provide the support you need to make these choices with confidence and peace of mind.

Asset Protection & Beneficiary Designation

Safeguarding your assets and ensuring they go to the right beneficiaries is a critical part of estate planning. I’ll work with you to establish strategies for asset protection and beneficiary designation.

This reduces potential tax burdens and ensures a smooth transfer to your heirs. As an experienced trust attorney, I’ll assist with setting up provisions that preserve your estate’s value.

Guardianship Designation for Minor Children

For parents, planning for the future includes ensuring minor children are cared for. I’ll assist you in establishing guardianship designations.

This enables you to name trusted individuals to care for your children if the unexpected occurs. These designations bring invaluable peace of mind to parents and guardians alike.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A will specifies how assets are distributed after death, while a trust can provide additional benefits, such as probate avoidance and tax benefits. I can help you understand the best options for your situation.

You should review your estate plan every few years or after major life changes like marriage, birth, or a significant asset change.

Certain trust arrangements and beneficiary designations can help avoid probate. I’ll offer strategies designed to streamline asset transfer and minimize legal hurdles.

If you don’t have an estate plan in place before your passing, your state will distribute your assets according to its laws — this is unlikely to align with your vision. As an experienced Minnesota estate planning attorney, I’ll ensure your plan protects what matters most.

I’ll guide you on tax-efficient estate planning options for reducing estate taxes and protecting your beneficiaries.
