    A LGBTQ Estate Plan That Works

    A LGBTQ Estate Plan is unique, even in Minnesota. In addition to trust, estate planning for LGBTQ individuals and families means organizing planning goals and perspective.

    If you are beginning to explore estate planning or want to ensure your plan reflects the unique needs of LGBTQ community, this estate planning law office invites you to schedule an appointment.

    During our conversation, we can discuss a range of important topics. For example, how or if a relationship is legally recognized (partnership or marriage). Also, wishes regarding children and adoption. Further, the use or storage of genetics. Even more, naming conventions, gender identity, and beneficiaries.

    My goal is to help you create a plan that respects your values and gives you peace of mind.


    LGBTQ Estate Planning

    Although Minnesota law now recognizes same-sex marriages, a customized estate plan is still the best way to ensure your wishes.

    Without a valid will or trust, assets may be distributed according to default state laws. This alone might not reflect your personal relationships or intentions.

    Through estate planning, you can decide who will receive your property, manage your affairs, and oversee the distribution of assets. This is particularly important for unmarried partners and blended families. Unfortunately, the law may not automatically recognize those relationships without proper legal documentation.
