Navigating the loss of a loved one is a profound challenge, and handling their estate brings its own complexities. In Minnesota, a Decree of Descent becomes a pivotal solution when you haven’t initiated probate within three years after a loved one’s passing. At Johnson/Turner, we expertly guide you through this process, ensuring a smooth transition of your loved one’s assets.
Decree of Descent: Simplifying Estate Transfers
The Decree of Descent serves as a court order in Minnesota, crucial for transferring or re-titling assets like vehicles or property that were solely in the deceased’s name. This legal step is vital to manage the estate efficiently and lawfully.
Your Right to File for a Decree of Descent
As an “interested party” – a potential heir, beneficiary, government entity, or creditor – you hold the right to file a petition for a Decree of Descent. This process ensures that everyone with a stake in the estate can safeguard their interests. Our team at Johnson/Turner excels in facilitating this filing process, ensuring your rights are fully represented and protected.
Streamlining the Filing Process
Upon filing, the court schedules a hearing. We at Johnson/Turner take charge of the legal intricacies, ensuring all potential heirs and creditors receive timely and proper legal notice.
