Legal Expertise You Can Trust

At Seiler Law, we offer comprehensive estate planning services, from crafting customized wills to establishing complex trusts. We deeply appreciate the confidence our clients place in us and embrace the responsibility of drafting estate plans that reflect their priorities and protect their legacy.

Here is how we do it:

  1. Personalized Attention: We take the time to fully understand your financial situation, family relationships, and long-term goals. Every client receives a tailored plan that fits their specific circumstances.
  2. Clear Communication: We believe in making the legal process as straightforward as possible. You may feel overwhelmed or confused at times, but we guide you every step of the way, answering every question with patience and clarity.
  3. Proactive Planning: Our team anticipates potential challenges and offers proactive strategies to protect your assets, ensuring your estate plan works exactly as intended.
  4. Ongoing Partnership: Life changes, and so should your estate plan. We stay with you beyond the signing of documents, offering ongoing reviews and updates to ensure your plan grows with your family, circumstances, and your needs.

Beyond the Estate Plan: We help clients identify aspects of their legacy that may not require formal estate planning documents, such as ensuring beneficiary designations on retirement accounts and life insurance policies are up to date, properly titling assets to avoid probate, and utilizing transfer-on-death or payable-on-death designations where appropriate.

At Seiler Law, our goal is to educate and empower clients to make informed decisions about their entire estate, ensuring their wishes are carried out efficiently and effectively.

Having a Will or Trust in place is not just about dividing assets – it is about providing security, minimizing uncertainty, and ensuring your family’s future is protected. 

  1. Control Over Your Legacy: A Will or Trust allows you to direct where your assets go, so your wishes are honored. Without one, your wealth and assets may be subject to probate, which means the state decides what happens with your assets, and that may not align with your intentions.
  2. Avoid Family Conflict: Clear instructions help prevent disputes among loved ones, saving them from unnecessary stress during difficult and life altering events.
  3. Streamline the Process: A trust can help bypass the lengthy, expensive and public probate process, giving your beneficiaries faster access to the assets they need and protection from public scrutiny over the contents contained within your estate plan.
  4. Protect Your Loved Ones: A trust can provide greater financial security, safeguard inheritances from creditors or divorce, and further allow you to control how and when your loved ones receive their inheritance.

Peace of Mind: Estate planning provides peace of mind knowing that your legacy is secure, your children are cared for, and your loved ones will be taken care of when the time comes.

An estate plan may include a variety of documents to ensure your wishes are clearly stated and your family is protected. Here are some examples of the most common documents drafted:
  •   Will: A legal document that specifies how your assets will be distributed after your passing and names guardians for any minor children. It provides clear instructions to help avoid confusion or disputes among your loved ones.
  •   Revocable Trust: A flexible trust that allows you to retain control over your assets during your lifetime while providing a seamless transfer of your estate to beneficiaries upon your death. It can help avoid probate and ensure privacy.
  •   Certificate of Trust: A certificate of trust is a legal document that confirms the existence of a trust and grants the trustee authority to act on its behalf. Trustees often use it when working with financial institutions, such as to designate the trust as a beneficiary or manage trust assets.
  •   Power of Attorney: This document allows you to designate someone to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated or unable to manage your own affairs. It ensures that your financial matters are handled by a trusted individual.
  • Health Care Directive: Also known as a living will, this document outlines your medical preferences in the event you become unable to communicate your wishes. It also allows you to designate someone to make health care decisions for you if needed.
Our process is designed to be as seamless and stress-free as possible, ensuring that you feel supported from start to finish. Here is what you can expect:
  1. Initial Consultation: We begin with an in-depth consultation where we listen to your needs, goals, and concerns. We will ask questions to fully understand your family and financial picture.
  2. Strategic Planning: After gathering all the necessary information, we develop a customized estate plan that meets your objectives. This could include Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Healthcare Directives and more.
  3. Client Review: We take time to walk you through the proposed plan, explaining everything in plain language. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and make adjustments.
  4. Implementation: Once you are satisfied, we prepare and finalize all legal documents, ensuring they are executed correctly and in compliance with Minnesota laws.
  5. Ongoing Review and Support: Life is unpredictable. We offer ongoing reviews of your estate plan to make sure it still aligns with your wishes and family’s needs. Whether you are welcoming new family members, acquiring new assets, or experiencing other changes, we will be there to update your plan accordingly.
We believe in building long-lasting relationships, and we are here for you every step of the way. From the first conversation to ongoing support, we prioritize your peace of mind and the security of your family’s future.
