Having a will is important for married couples, singles and divorced people. If you are without a will, the laws of Minnesota and a judge will make all the decisions regarding your estate. You can avoid that. Prior to class, information will be sent to you for review. During class, learn the background on estates and wills, then finish by preparing a legal will with instructions during class on a professionally prepared form. The will is then notarized with a witness at class. This class is appropriate for people who have an estate of less than $2,000,000, including life insurance, and do not own a business. Each participant must register separately, couples cannot legally share the form. Bring an appropriate ID for notary and a pen to class.

Write Your Own Power of Attorney & Healthcare Directive Everyone should have a health care directive and a power of attorney whether you are 18 or 80.

Gain valuable information and tools to organize your affairs. Receive instructions and professionally prepared forms, and have access to witnesses and a notary public. Must bring your driver’s license for identification. This class is a great supplement to the Writing your Own Will class.
