Having a well-designed, comprehensive estate plan may be the greatest gift you could ever leave for your family members. In addition to making your wishes known with regard to how you want your property distributed after your death, an estate plan can also provide clear instructions that eliminate much of the uncertainty and infighting that often happens among family members after the death of a loved one.
At the law firm of Grannis & Hauge, P.A., our Minnesota estate planning lawyers provide complete estate planning services to clients throughout Dakota County and the surrounding area. We work with you to fully understand your estate planning goals and recommend a customized solution designed specifically to help you reach them.
