The Concern: Our family has a cabin, homestead, hunting land, farm or second home. How do we protect this family legacy and move its use and enjoyment in the future? The Problem: Various sources and forces threaten its very existence: The nursing home and Medicaid (MA), estate taxes, family divorces, creditor and bankruptcy issues, taxes and operating expenses, unequal resources of owners, the in-laws, and use and enjoyment equality. The Answer: We will provide real-life solutions and explore four paths to resolution that will solve our problems without driving the family apart or sacrificing the family’s legacy asset. A Zoom link will be sent to the email used for registration. If registering as a couple, only select one person during the registration process. The name of your partner will be asked as a question during checkout.

In this class, we will take an in-depth review of many issues (and problems) that may be faced from our parent's estate plan (or lack thereof) such as: Creating a difficult Probate, loss of assets to the Nursing Home, fighting amongst the children, senior care issues, guardianship, privacy, the continued life of the surviving parent, estate tax protection, fairness and equality, legacy assets and the flow of critical information between the generations. With our 30 years of experience, we will discuss actual Minnesota examples of all of the above challenges and how they can be avoided in advance with some simple planning and exchange of information. All questions will be answered in an open and friendly forum. If registering as a couple, only add one person's name to the cart. The name of your partner will be asked during the check out process.
