Estate and Trust Planning

Preserving family assets, planning for the needs of loved ones, and reducing or eliminating taxes and other costs are key themes of the estate planning process.

By proper planning, and at a nominal cost, we assist our clients in anticipating, and planning for expected and unexpected matters such as disability, extensive medical and nursing home expenses, changes in family circumstances and relationships, changes in tax law and changes in financial circumstances.  A significant part of our practice includes these and other Elder Law issues.

Proper planning can provide the peace of mind available from knowing that your wishes will be carried out, loved ones will be cared for, and costs and expenses will be minimized. The special issues arising from blended families can also be properly planned for.

Planning can involve a variety of documents including Wills, Trusts (possibly Special and Supplemental needs Trusts for disabled persons, Irrevocable Trusts for estate tax planning purposes, Revocable Trusts for asset administration, etc.), Durable Powers of Attorney, Healthcare Directives (formerly referred to as "Living Wills"), and asset transfer documents.

We have extensive experience in the planning process and can efficiently assist you in developing and documenting your plan.

Our lawyers serve clients throughout Minnesota, including the cities of Hastings, Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Rosemount, Farmington, Red Wing, and other communities throughout Dakota County, Washington County, Goodhue County, Rice County, Scott County, Hennepin County, and Ramsey County, Minnesota.
