Minneapolis Estate Planning LawyersLast Will and Testament ∙ Health Care Directives/Living Wills ∙ Trusts Estate planning is a subject that is difficult for most people to contemplate. However, decisions still need to be made. Without a valid estate plan, important decisions about the distribution of your property will be made according to Minnesota intestate law. Worse, your future health care decisions will be made by inaction - the huge problem that American's witnessed in the Terri Schiavo case (in which a living will had not been created). At the law office of Gerten and Van Valkenburg, PA, in Little Canada, Minnesota, we help individuals and families confront these difficult decisions and create an effective estate plan. Contact us for experienced legal advice and assistance with your estate plan. We have a comprehensive wills and trusts practice: - Last will and testament: A last will and testament can address all inheritance issues. However, it can also address much more. Your last will and testament is your opportunity to create testamentary trusts (such as for minor children), name guardians for minor children and ensure that your legacy is passed on according to your wishes.
- Trusts: We assist clients in creating living trusts and testamentary trusts (trusts created after your passing according to your directions - such as directions in your will). Trusts can suit many needs. We assist clients in developing special needs trusts, marital trusts, charitable giving trusts, college fund trusts and other unique trusts.
- Living wills: Living wills are now referred to as health care directives in Minnesota. A health care directive addresses important end of life decisions, such as the use of life-sustaining care. No matter what your beliefs are, it is important to ensure they are known to others, and enforceable through a valid health care directive.
Estate planning is important for everyone - whether you are 25 and a new parent, or are 85 and entering a nursing home.
