Carrie Renner Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Burnsville

Dear Individuals and Families alike:. I love human stories, and I love to help. I am passionate about handling your legal needs as you plan for your future, plan for the possiblility of incapacity and plan for the certainty of death. If you've recently lost a loved one, I offer my sincere condolences. I am honored by the opportunity to walk clients through the trust and estate administration process so that they can more appropriately focus on the grieving process, not the legal process.. My passion for estate planning did not come to me right away. In fact, during my stay-at-home mom years, I wasn't sure what the post-young-kids chapter of my career would look like. It wasn't until my husband and I began the conversation of transferring the family cabin out of my parents' names and into our names that the light bulb went off. The negotiations should be easy, right? They want to sell the cabin, and we want to buy the cabin. Easy. It wasn't easy, and there were far more considerations than any of us anticipated. In the end, we found common ground. We all feel like we've come out on the right side of the deal and, most importantly, feel like the cabin has the protection we wanted. I found myself telling this story often and hearing others' stories. There is a real legal need that exists in Minnesota to transfer this valuable, sentimental asset that we affectionately call "the cabin.". A few years after my personal cabin succession experience, I began counseling families on what cabin succession can (and often should) look like. This practice naturally morphed into a general estate planning practice where the conversation turned from the relationships entrenched in family cabins to the relationships we all have and that must be a consideration in every single estate plan. I stronly believe that estate planning is about the heart and the head of every client. Minimizing taxes is important. So is preserving assets, protecting public benefits, and often, providing to charity. But this should not be the end of the conversation with your estate planning attorney. It is just as important to use this time of planning to convey your values, goals and the stories of your life to your loved ones. Your legacy is all of this.. At Provision Law Firm, our philosophy is that the complete need of the client must be met. We can serve this need by spending time with out clients, learning about the whole person and working with them to define their estate planning goals. In the end, the plan they choose will reflect them and the legacy they hope to leave behind.. Please give us a call. We would love to learn about you and help set your goals in motion. Your planning matters.. Kindest regards,. Carrie
