FAQ
More often than not, our clients opt for the General Durable Power of Attorney (a mix of the Durable and General Power of Attorney) for it's ease of use by the Agent, and sustainability over the lifetime of the Prinicipal.
If your personal property exceeds $75,000 or you own real estate in your name alone, your estate must be probated.
The "principal" is the person who creates a Power of Attorney document, and they give authority to another adult who is called an "attorney-in-fact." The attorney-in-fact does NOT have to be a lawyer and CANNOT act as an attorney for the principal. The attorney-in-fact must be a competent adult (18 years or older).
Furthermore, the attorney-in-fact is not personally responsible for the decedent's debts, such as credit card bills, mortgages, medical expenses, or funeral costs. These obligations fall to the decedent's Executor, also known as the Personal Representative.
When does a power of attorney end? A mentally competent person can remove a power of attorney at any time with a signed document. If a power of attorney is not removed, it ends with a person's death.
As in Minnesota, a power of attorney expires when the principal dies. The attorney-in-fact cannot make decisions about the principal's estate unless he or she was named as personal representative.
Transfer on Death Deed. For real estate, a transfer on death deed (TODD) that is filed with the county while the owner is alive acts to change ownership of property once they pass without going through probate.
In Minnesota, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you own—real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a "successor trustee").
Heirs may not take your personal property until 30 days after your death. If your personal property exceeds $75,000 or you own real estate in your name alone, your estate must be probated.
