Welcome to Unique Estate Law. My name is Chris Tymchuck and I specialize in helping families navigate the legal aspects of their lives. None of us want the legal systems involved in our family life but that isn’t an option. Every family needs certain basic legal documents such as wills, health care directives and powers of attorney. If you do not have these documents, you are giving the State of Minnesota the power to make your most personal and important decisions on your behalf – without your input. Don’t let the State decide who will be the guardian of your children, who will make medical decisions for you should you become incapacitated or who will inherit your assets upon your death.
But basic documents are often not enough. I will work with you to custom design and draft a holistic plan tailored to your unique needs. For example, a revocable living trust is an effective tool for many families particularly if you’re not legally married in the state of Minnesota or have minor children. If your family assets total more than $1 million, which can be more likely than you imagine, a competent attorney will discuss with you the possible tax implications of passing those assets to your beneficiaries. Cohabitation agreements provide a solid foundation for the next step in your relationship. Other powerful estate planning options include business succesion plans, special needs trusts and cabin succession planning. I specialize in building and protecting families; let me use my knowledge of the the legal tools available to do what I do best: protect you, your loved ones and your legacy.
Every family has unique needs from blended families to multi-generational households to GLBT families who need to take extra precautions to create and safeguard their family structure to those dealing with the incapacity or passing of a family member. As a parent who adopted my daughter through second-parent adoption, I have a particular passion for helping all types of families make the legal system work for you. I understand that working with an attorney is not on your bucket list but it is my mission to help you navigate all transitions in your life smoothly whether they involve the joys of starting a new relationship, adding to your family or protecting the family that you have or to guide you through the legal issues related to a death in your family. Whether you have traditional or non-traditional estate planning needs, let me put the important decisions back into your hands and let Unique Estate Law assist you with the following:
