Once your child reaches adulthood, you no longer have automatic access to their financial info, bank accounts, or medical records, even in an emergency. Setting up a Power of Attorney (POA) creates a vital legal safety net.

Why young adults need a Power of Attorney:
- Trusted adults can assist with banking, lease agreements, or insurance needs while they're away at school or traveling
- For adult children with disabilities who have capacity, a POA offers support as a wonderful alternative to court-ordered guardianship
- Families can avoid costly, public, and time-consuming guardianship or conservatorship proceedings if an unexpected crisis occurs

Learn how a Power of Attorney protects your young adult.

It’s time to talk to your adult children about a power of attorney. Amy can help you learn what should be considered to get the conversation started.

Since 2016, Minnesota law has formally authorized Pet Trusts—the most official way to provide instructions and funds for your pet's future care. But do you actually need one?

When a formal Pet Trust makes sense:
• Multiple or Exotic Pets
• Significant Funding
• Charitable Legacy

For most pet owners, simpler options work just as well without the added expense. Amy can help you choose the right path for your family.

The Do's and Don'ts of Minnesota Wills
Thinking about drafting a will? 📝⚖️

While anyone can write their own will, Minnesota law has strict statutory requirements to make sure it’s legally valid in court. To execute a proper will, you must be at least 18 years old, a Minnesota resident, and mentally competent, and the document must be signed with witnesses and a notary present.

Before you get started, keep these quick Do’s and Don’ts in mind! 👇

DO Include:
✅ A Personal Representative: Name a reliable sibling, relative, or friend to handle probate and transfer assets.
✅ Guardianship Nominations: Specify who should raise your minor children.
✅ Clear Beneficiaries: State exactly who gets what (a contents clause is great for preventing inheritance disputes!).

DON’T Include:
❌ Burial Instructions: Wills are often read days or weeks after funeral services occur. Keep funeral wishes in a separate document that family can access immediately.
❌ Long Explanations: Avoid writing long rants about leaving someone out. A simple statement like "I know to whom I am leaving my assets" is legally sufficient.

💡 Pro Tip: Got married or divorced recently? Major life changes affect your legal rights under Minnesota law. Always review and update your estate plan when your marital status changes, and safely discard old wills to avoid court confusion!

Reach out to Amy Kuronen Law today. We’ll guide you step-by-step so you can feel 100% confident your assets and loved ones are protected.
