Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Minnesota

Wills & Estate Planning

I spend 5 months in Arizona and have property there with a mobile home on it. Do I make my will and plan my estate in Minnesota where I live for 7 months or in Arizona where the property is?

Re: Wills & Estate Planning

You should do you will and plan your estate in the state where you live. There is a procedure in probate codes to deal with out of state property. I am guessing that you live in Minnesota, but it is not entirely clear to me based on the e-mail that you do live in MN.

MY STANDARD DISCLAIMER: This is not intended to be legal advice or to create an attorney-client relationship. No attorney-client relationship is intended until you and I sign a retainer agreement.

In all probability an estate administered from Minnesota could handle a mobile home in Arizona. If Minnesota is your primary residence, get a will in place here.

Then next time you are in AZ, consult a lawyer there and show him or her the will you did here. Just to make sure.

This response does not create an attorney client relationship, is not legal advice, and is for general information purposes only.
