Estate Planning in Minnesota FAQs
Do I need a trust, or is a will enough?
While wills are common, they don’t guarantee the same level of protection as a trust. A will still requires probate, which can take time and cost your loved ones more. Trusts provide a clearer, more secure path to preserving your legacy.
What assets need to go into a trust?
Anything of value can be added to a trust, such as real estate, financial accounts, personal belongings, or business assets. The key is proper funding—not a single asset should be overlooked!
Is it too complicated to update a trust later?
Not at all. With Revocable Living Trusts, changes are simple to make. Whether you need to update a beneficiary or add new assets, we’re here to help keep your plan accurate and effective.
