Will Planning FAQs
Why should I make a will?
A will lets you state how you want certain property distributed and name a personal representative to handle estate matters. It can also address guardianship wishes for minor children. An attorney can explain how these choices apply to your situation.
What should I bring to a will drafting meeting?
Bring a list of the people and organizations you may want to include, questions about your property, and any existing estate planning documents. You do not need every detail settled before speaking with an attorney.
Can I change my will later?
You can generally revise your estate plan as your circumstances or wishes change. Marriage, divorce, a new child, or changes in your property may prompt a review. Ask an attorney how to make updates correctly.
Does a will name guardians for my children?
A will can state your nomination of a guardian for minor children. Choosing someone involves careful thought about your children’s needs and the person’s ability to serve. An attorney can explain how to document your wishes.
Do I need an attorney to write a will in Minnesota?
Minnesota law sets requirements for valid wills, and mistakes can create confusion or disputes. An attorney can help you understand the rules, consider your circumstances, and prepare a document that reflects your intentions.
