Frequently Asked Questions

We start with a straightforward phone or video call. You tell us what's going on, and we'll explain what options make sense for your situation. No obligation, no pressure, and no hourly billing while we talk it through.

We use flat-fee pricing for all our services. You'll know the cost before we start — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. The exact fee depends on the scope of work involved.

Probably not. We're a remote-first practice. Most of our clients meet with us by phone or video. For Nebraska clients, in-person meetings are available in specific circumstances. Minnesota clients are served 100% remotely.

In most cases, a will alone means your estate goes through probate — a public court process that can take months and tie up the farm. A revocable living trust, when properly funded, keeps your estate out of probate entirely and gives your family a smoother transition.

Trust funding is the process of retitling your assets — farmland, bank accounts, equipment — into the name of your trust. Without this step, the trust doesn't actually control those assets, and they'll go through probate anyway. We include trust funding as part of every estate plan.

There are legal strategies to help protect farm assets from being consumed by long-term care expenses. The right approach depends on your specific situation, and earlier planning provides more options. We can walk you through what makes sense for your family.

That depends on your operation — how it runs, who's involved, what your goals are, and what state you're in. We help families choose between LLCs, partnerships, S-corps, and other structures based on what actually fits.

Absolutely. Wind and solar leases are 30-40 year commitments that affect how your land can be used for decades. The terms in the developer's standard lease are written to protect the developer, not you. Get independent counsel before you sign.

We are licensed and serve clients in Nebraska and Minnesota only.

Minnesota clients are served 100% remotely. There are no in-person meetings for Minnesota clients. This is a convenience — you get a licensed Minnesota attorney without driving anywhere.
