Comprehensive Estate Planning Services
Our firm offers a full range of estate planning services designed to protect you and your loved ones. Each service works together to form a complete and effective plan.
Estate planning creates a clear roadmap for the future. It outlines how your assets are managed during your lifetime and distributed after death. A well-structured plan helps reduce uncertainty and provides direction for your family.
A will ensures your wishes are clearly stated. It names beneficiaries, guardians for minor and special needs children, and instructions for asset distribution. Without a will, state law determines these decisions, not you.
Trusts offer flexibility and control. They help manage assets, avoid probate when properly funded, and protect beneficiaries. Trusts are especially useful for families with specific planning goals or long-term needs.
A power of attorney allows someone you trust to act on your behalf if you cannot. This document helps ensure financial matters continue smoothly during illness or incapacity.
Health care directives outline your medical wishes and name someone to speak for you if needed. These documents provide clarity during difficult moments and relieve loved ones from uncertainty.
Estate tax planning focuses on preserving wealth for future generations. Proper planning may reduce tax exposure and protect assets through strategic legal tools.
A Proactive and Client-Focused Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple. Plan ahead. Communicate clearly. Solve issues early. This proactive mindset helps clients avoid confusion and unnecessary stress later.
We also believe strong communication matters. Clients know what to expect at every step. Documents are explained before they are signed. Questions are always encouraged. This approach creates lasting relationships built on trust and respect.
Serving Families Across Minnesota and Wisconsin
While our offices are located in Minnetonka, MN, and Hudson, WI, we proudly assist clients throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. No matter where you are in the planning process, our attorneys are ready to help you move forward with confidence.
Estate Planning Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an estate plan if I do not have many assets?
Yes. It is a common misconception that you have to be wealthy to need an estate plan or a trust. The probate threshold in MN is only $75,000, and in WI, that number is only $50,000.
Estate planning is not only about wealth. It also covers health care decisions, guardianship, and who can act on your behalf.
How often should I update my estate plan?
You should review your plan after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or changes in financial circumstances.
What happens if I do not have an estate plan?
Without a plan, state law controls important decisions. This may lead to delays, added costs, and outcomes you did not intend.
How do I get started with estate planning?
The first step is a conversation. Speaking with an experienced estate planning attorney helps clarify your goals and next steps.

Todd Johnson and his staff did a great job in getting our Trust revised in a timely manner given all of our health issues. Having our Trust done took a great weight off of us allowing us to concentrate on our health & healing. Thank you!

Plus 2 thumb up! 5 years ago David drafted Trusts principally related to our daughter who was born with CHARGE Syndrome. It has been very comforting over the years to know that with our eventual passing, all the triggers and documents are in place so our daughter will be taken care of for the rest of her life. Good job! And all done at a very reasonable fee which is always important when one's child has a disablity.
