Estate Administration and Probate

Estate administration is can be a complicated process, and no two estates are alike. Depending on the size and complexity of the estate, the probate process can take up to several years before completion.

If you have accepted the role of personal representative or estate administrator, it is your job to resolve any outstanding debts and to distribute assets as outlined in a will. Not all assets have to go through the probate process. Our experienced Minnesota probate lawyers are familiar with all applicable probate rules and can advise you which assets must pass through probate. They can also advise which type of probate proceeding might expedite the process.

If your estate includes real property, such as a house or land, it is likely that the estate will require a probate proceeding. Our team of probate attorneys have the necessary experience and skill to guide you through the probate process, advising you of your options each step of the way.
