Many of us have heard the phrase, “fear of the unknown.” The concept of fearing the unknown makes it into our lives in more extreme circumstances, such as waiting for medical test results, waiting to receive a phone call from a loved-one serving overseas, or trying to figure out what that strange creaking sound is coming from the basement in the middle of the night.The reality is that most of us experience the fear of the unknown in more every day, even mundane, circumstances, such as wondering if our interests will be represented in the way we want them to be after we have passed away. 
If you are a young adult, new parent, middle age or even approaching retirement, it may be difficult to think of yourself as having an estate. The term “estate” may make you think of a large sum of money or a large property. However, an estate is simply the net worth of an individual at any point in time, alive or dead. Charles Kallemeyn of Kallemeyn & Kallemeyn is an Anoka County estate lawyer who can help you manage all aspects of your estate including a will, trust, and probate.
If you own property in the state of Minnesota, you may wonder if there is a way to transfer your property to a friend or loved one without the hassle of probate at the time of your death. There is a process, called a Transfer On Death Deed, that allows you to keep ownership while you are still living. At the time of your death, this deed allows ownership of your property to automatically be transferred to your beneficiary that you have chosen.
