At times, it may be the only key clause in the Will, given that the testator has no specific instructions for specific assets. The residuary clause in the Will is also known as a “catch-all clause” as it prevents any asset from being “left out”.
Real estate can come in many forms - from homes to land to property to buildings, and your Will should make it very clear who gets which properties.
Understanding Beneficiary Clauses The term beneficiary refers to the specification of the recipient of funds or other benefits as specified in a policy or trust. Typically, any person or entity can be named a beneficiary of a trust, will, or life insurance policy.
Typically, executors have the authority to sell property without needing unanimous consent from all heirs. However, if the decision to sell is contested, an executor might need to seek approval from the probate court.
A valid will can be very simple or very complex, but you'll likely see the following provisions in a typical will. Exordium Clause. Specific, General, and Residual Bequests of Property. Survivorship Clauses. Appointment of the Executor. Executor's Powers. Guardians for Young Children and Their Property.

Minnesota law does not set a specific timeline for settling an estate, but it generally should be done as "expeditiously and efficiently as is compatible with the best interests of the estate." Delays can result in additional expenses and even legal repercussions for the executor.
