Minnesota Estate Planning Services

Have you considered the many benefits an estate plan can offer you and your loved ones? Scott Hoke provides estate planning services that help ensure that your property and assets are distributed according to your wishes. Just as important, careful planning can ensure that your wishes are followed in a medical crisis, or that an incapacitated loved one will be taken care of if you are unable to do so. Mr. Hoke can establish an estate plan appropriate to your unique situation, whether it is simple or complex:

• Wills
• Revocable and irrevocable trusts, including special needs trusts, QTIP trusts and Miller trusts
• Advanced health care directives (often called "living wills")
• Health care powers of attorney
• Financial durable powers of attorney
• Guardianships and conservatorships, which provide protection for people who are unable to make their own financial or health decisions. If you are concerned about a mentally ill, developmentally disabled, or elderly relative, such as someone who is showing signs of Alzheimer's disease or dementia, a guardianship or conservatorship may be advisable.

Business Succession Planning

G. Scott Hoke, P.A. can be a powerful resource for family-owned or other closely held businesses. Business succession planning is a critical look at a number of issues involved in partnerships and small companies. When the existing structure of a small business is changed by retirement, death or when one stakeholder decides to leave, it can lead to costly disruption in the business. 

Scott Hoke develops buy-sell agreements in advance of the event so that every stakeholder understands how the business valuation will be done and how ownership will be transferred. Such agreements can ensure the remaining partners and stakeholders do not encounter a dispute regarding the value of the company or their shares. In addition, Mr. Hoke can provide insightful counsel when your company develops other essential contingency plans.

Probate Administration and Litigation

G. Scott Hoke, P.A. also handles the probate of estates, either as the administrator or as the executor's representative. Estate administrators or executors are responsible for paying the estate's debts, notifying heirs, and distributing property to beneficiaries. If you have been named executor in a decedent's will, hiring an attorney to assist you can help you ensure that your responsibilities are met. Mr. Hoke also handles probate disputes involving disagreements such as will contests.
