Our law firm helps people give what they have, to whom they want, the way they want, and when they want; all at the lowest tax cost and professional fee possible. We have been doing custom estate planning for over twenty years. We work closely with our clients to design plans that carry out their specific needs and wishes. If you are concerned about your family, business or cabin and want to protect the assets you have worked hard for from unnecessary red tape, taxation, creditor attack or other planning pitfall, we would like the opportunity to help you.
Whether you are you just beginning to learn about estate planning and are interested in the basics of wills, living trusts and powers of attorney and probate or you have more specific questions about advanced estate planning strategies like charitable remainder trusts, family limited partnerships, intentionally defective grantor trusts, qualified personal residence trusts, cabin trusts and cabin LLCs, we think you will find our learning center helpful.
We recommend starting with our Frequently Asked Estate Planning Questions (FAQs) to familiarize yourself with basic concepts and current tax and probate laws. We have several online slide presentations to introduce you to important issues with real life examples. For more advanced information see the Articles area. Use the Estate Tax Calculators to estimate your taxes. Please note that we have 2 calculators, one for the federal estate tax and the other to estimate your Minnesota estate tax, which has lower exemption of $1,000,000.
