PROBATE AND TRUST ADMINISTRATION

The loss of a loved one is a difficult experience.  At one's death, an estate is created.  In Minnesota, if the estate has assets valued at more than $75,000 or contains real property, the estate must be probated to transfer assets.  In probating the estate, the assets of the estate must be inventoried and a final accounting must be made.

The administration of a Trust is similar to the administration of a probate estate without court supervision and the costs attendant to opening a probate estate.
