Jacobson Estate Law PLLC

Jacobson Estate Law PLLC is an Estate Planning Attorney in St. Louis Park, MN. The firm specializes in wills, trusts, and probate, serving clients who seek to secure their legacy and protect their families. Peder Jacobson leads the practice, offering expert analysis to fund trusts and avoid probate. The firm assists clients in drafting wills tailored to specific planning needs, creating revocable trusts for complex family situations, and navigating the probate process. Services also include powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and naming guardians for children. The firm emphasizes up-front pricing based on a publicly available fee schedule, ensuring no hidden costs or surprises.

The firm’s process begins with a brief, no-obligation call to understand the client's goals and family dynamics. This is followed by a free estate plan review where the attorney gathers details about beneficiaries, assets, and property. Based on this information, the firm provides a tailored recommendation outlining the pros and cons of various options. The firm highlights that while drafting a will on one's own is possible, it risks unintended results or overriding by Minnesota law. Trusts are presented not just for the wealthy, but as tools for managing property for minor beneficiaries, protecting assets from creditors, and maintaining privacy in sensitive family matters. The firm notes that in Minnesota, probate is required when probate-titled assets exceed certain statutory thresholds, regardless of whether a valid will exists.

Located at 1000 Shelard Pkwy #300, the office is situated on the third floor. It is about a quarter mile from Westwood Park and Shelard Park Gardens, and less than a half mile from the Life Time Athletic Oakdale Village Tennis center. The firm holds a 5.00 rating based on customer reviews, reflecting a positive experience for those who have worked with the attorney.
