Probate law may not be the most exciting aspect of our legal system, so it may not inspire many movies or TV shows, but that does not mean that probate law is not among the most important aspects of the law.

When you make your wishes known prior to the time of your death, your wishes are far more likely to be granted.

A personal representative is the individual who is named by you in your will to ensure that the terms of your will are executed as outlined. This person has a wide variety of duties and can receive a payment from your estate for this service. Your personal representative (formerly called an executor) should be someone that is trustworthy, competent, and has business and finance experience. It is extremely important that you choose someone in whom you trust and you can be sure will represent your interests in an honest way in the event of your death. Very often a personal representative works closely with an estate planning attorney to navigate the probate process. Kallemeyn & Kallemeyn specializes in all aspects of estate planning and can partner with you to draft your will and name your personal representative. We can also work directly with your personal representative to execute the terms of your will. Kallemeyn & Kallemeyn are located in Coon Rapids Minnesota just off Hwy 10 and Main Street.
