For more than 20 years, Tim has focused his practice on the preparation of wills, trusts and estate plans for individuals – as well as related litigation. I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of working with numbers, and this is an area of the law where I can do that.
Tim has been named a Super Lawyer® and is listed as a Top 40 Estate Planning and Probate Law Attorney by Minnesota Law & Politics magazine.
After consulting with clients to determine their personal and financial goals and objectives, Tim helps them structure the estate plan that best meets their needs. To accomplish this, he looks for the most efficient methods for transferring the client’s assets – with a goal of tax minimization and simplicity.
Tim offers a special depth of experience in cases involving breach of fiduciary duty in the management of probate, estates and trusts. On the plaintiff side, he represents estate and trust beneficiaries. On the defendant side, he represents personal representatives, trustees and guardians. He also serves as expert witness both for and against fiduciaries.
Tim also represents small and mid-sized business owners in their business transactions and disputes.
Outside the office, Tim is a board member of several charitable organizations. He is an avid Yankees fan who also enjoys golf and reading – especially recent history dealing with events in and related to the Middle East.
