- TrustsWe have assisted our clients with the probate and trust administration of hundreds of estates and trusts. Probate is the process of settling a person’s final affairs through the court system. It involves having a personal representative appointed by the court, collecting and inventorying the person’s assets, paying final expenses and debts, and distributing the balance of the estate to the people designated in a probated will or according to Minnesota law. The probate process ends when the estate has been fully settled and distributed and the personal representative discharged. As your attorneys, we assist you in completing each of these tasks and ensuring that the probate process goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
- Power of AttorneyA power of attorney is a document that gives the person you choose the authority to act on your behalf for legal and financial matters. Powers granted in this document terminate when you die. Because the person you appoint has significant authority over your affairs, they should be someone you know well and trust.
