Minnesota Estate Planning That Will Help You Get Your Affairs in Order

About the Law Office of Timothy J. Scott

How This Firm Is Different

What Makes us stand apart from the rest

Most estate planning experiences follow a cookie-cutter model: you are given the same documents as everyone else and you are charged when you ask questions.
We seek to know your family and your financial situation so that our solutions can truly fit you.

Even after signing documents, we are here to support you. Because of our flat-fee model, you will never be charged for a phone call or question.

Our goal is to keep your family out of court and conflict.

Our multi-faceted planning strategies help you and your family navigate any stage of life or financial situation. We offer estate planning services, asset protection, business succession, planning for care of minor children, long term care planning, and more. Life changes quickly, and we are here every step of the way.

Here’s What We Do Differently:

Flat-fee pricing — so you’re never afraid to ask questions.
Custom plans — designed to evolve with your life.
Ongoing support — reach out any time, free of charge.
Guidance beyond legal documents — to help your family avoid conflict
Accessible communication — quick answers and easy scheduling.
Personalized care — your family is unique, and your plan should be too.
