The area of probate law is difficult to understand for most, and not something that you need to worry about….until you do. When a loved one dies, family members begin to have many questions about how that person’s assets will be distributed and how debts will be paid. These are the issue at the heart of a probate. Kallemeyn & Kallemeyn is a law firm based in 
When a person passes away, the family is left with the cumbersome task of settling the estate of the deceased. Essentially, probate and estate administration is used to formally transfer the real property, distribute assets of the decedent and settle all claims against the estate. If you were selected as the personal representative for a loved one’s estate, we can guide you through every step. In Minnesota, probate occurs when a resident of the state passes away while owning a property at that time. Formal probate is not always necessary after a person passes away in Minnesota. The probate process is required when survivor-ship rights have not been created, when real property is titled in an individual’s own name or when real estate is held as a tenant in common with another. Minnesota law generally requires probate for an estate greater than $50,000. If that person has real estate in other states, those properties are subject to the probate laws in that state. It is also important to remember that just because someone has a will, this does not necessarily avoid the probate process. 
When a loved one dies, family and friends are flooded with emotion, intense sadness and a lot of things to do. In addition to navigating the grieving process, the family must quickly turn to the distribution of the family member’s assets (and debts), which can often times be complicated. In Minnesota, a probate occurs if the deceased was a resident of the state at the time of their death. Having a will does not necessarily negate the need for a probate.
