Die in Minnesota without a trust, and your kids could spend a year in probate court.
Probate in MN typically runs 12 to 18 months, costs three to five percent of the estate, and is public record. A revocable living trust skips all of it. Reserve a free 30-minute estate-planning consultation with Dr. Adam Link, CFP® — we'll show you what it actually takes to keep your family out of probate court, and we coordinate with licensed Minnesota estate attorneys to handle the documents themselves.
