Rebecca’s Story

You can probably relate to our founder Rebecca’s experience. She hadn’t started law school at the time her grandfather got ready to do his will. It was a big occasion. He got dressed up in what he called his “funeral suit,” a navy pinstripe that he wore to weddings, funerals and planned to be buried in. Rebecca, her grandfather and her mother went to a downtown Minneapolis fancy lawyer’s office. They felt intimidated. They had too much lawyer for too few assets, but didn’t know that. They felt embarrassed, and Rebecca remembers her grandfather apologizing for taking this fancy lawyer’s time for his little farm and bank account. 

Nobody should feel that way. 

Planning for life events isn’t always easy. We want to be the ones who listen, understand and make you feel wanted and welcome.
