Our Will and Trust Services in St Louis Park
Although many other solutions exist to help you manage your interests, a will typically is the foundation of your estate planning. A will can address a wide range of personal and inheritance matters including naming a representative to oversee your succession, designating a legal guardian for a minor child, or deciding who receives which of your assets.
Many people find trusts useful to organize the distribution of specific parts of their estate. Our lawyers can walk you through the different types of trust that exist to find one that meets your needs. When you establish a trust, you name a person of your choice to manage certain assets and pass them to specific beneficiaries. Property in trusts can avoid probate.
Supplemental Need or Special Need Trusts are trusts designed to provide financial support to a loved one who has a physical or mental disability. Such trusts do not disqualify the beneficiary from receiving benefits through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medical Assistance (Medicaid) programs.

We have wanted to start our estate planning for many years but simply didn’t know where or who to go to to start the process. Once I heard about Matt on the radio and looked at his profile on-line I knew he was the right person to contact. After our first meeting with him we were impressed how detailed he was in explaining the process and what we would need to do to make sure we had our estate plan in place. Matt was very friendly and made us feel comfortable with the entire process from start to finish. I would recommend Matt to anyone who needs help getting started to plan their estate.- Chad D.

Matt Guttman was recommended to me by a professional I trust. I also heard him speak and answer questions at my accountant’s firm when he gave a seminar about “What to include in your will.” He is knowledgeable and responsive. My husband and I chose to work with him five years ago to develop our estate plan (including wills and healthcare plans). Due to changes in our family, we updated our documents recently. Matt and his staff were friendly and efficient in helping us through that process. I recommend him highly.- Bev S.
