Rogers, Minnesota, Estate Planning Attorneys
Martin & Wagner, P.A., provides comprehensive estate planning services to families in the Metro Area, specifically those in the suburbs north and west of Minneapolis. We are knowledgeable about the concerns of our clients. Minnesota families want to protect the things they own — their homes, property, investments — and the people they love — their spouses, children, grandchildren.
Our estate planning services are designed with the value of hard work and family in mind. We offer assistance with a complete range of estate planning directives, including wills, trusts and powers of attorney. If you live in Rogers, Maple Grove, Elk River or any of the surrounding communities, our Rogers, Minnesota, estate planning lawyers can assist you with the following:
- Wills and trusts: If you do not have a will, the state of Minnesota will make one for you. A will can form the foundation for a comprehensive estate plan. Trusts provide a way for you to avoid probate and ensure your loved ones are taken care of.
- Trust administration: Trustees of trusts have responsibilities that must be met throughout the process of trust administration. We can ensure you are in compliance with your responsibilities and represent you should any disputes arise during the process.
- High net worth estate planning: We assist high net worth clients with wealth preservation — for themselves and for future generations of their families.
- Revocable and irrevocable trusts: The terms of a revocable trust can be changed. Most of the terms of an irrevocable trust cannot be changed. We can help you explore your options for establishing one or several trusts.
- Powers of attorney and health care directives: If you become incapacitated and no longer able to make your own decisions or handle your own financial or medical affairs, a trusted individual can act as an attorney-in-fact to make those decisions. In a health care directive, formerly called a living will, you provide directives to physicians and family members regarding certain end-of-life and medical situations.
- Powers of attorney for delegation of parental authority or designation of temporary custody: In your will, you can name a person who will obtain guardianship of your minor child or children if you and your spouse die. However, this does not cover scenarios where you may be temporarily unable to care for your children. By delegating parental authority or temporary custody, you can plan for unforeseen events such as hospital stays.
- Guardianships and conservatorships: Guardianships and conservatorships can be established to care for minor children, incapacitated adults and people with special needs.
- Blended family estate planning: Blended families bring a complexity to estate planning — a complexity that Martin & Wagner, P.A., is well equipped to handle. Our attorneys will spend sufficient time talking to you about your family and the assets either spouse brought into the marriage. We will talk to you about the assets you would like to preserve for your children. We will talk to you about your options for health care directives, powers of attorneys and other estate planning directives that can impact your family.
- Probate and estate administration: We can guide you through the complexities of probate and estate administration, including any disputes that may arise.
