Terms of use

What you are agreeing to

By using Understand Trusts you accept these terms and the disclaimer. If you do not, please do not use the site.

The site is informational

Understand Trusts publishes general information about Minnesota trust and estate law. It is not legal advice, it does not create an attorney-client relationship, and it is not a substitute for advice from a lawyer who knows your facts. See the disclaimer, which is part of these terms.

Accuracy

Every legal statement here is checked against the primary source before publication and each guide shows the date it was checked. Even so, statutes change, courts issue new opinions, and a page can go out of date without notice. The site is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and you should verify anything you intend to rely on.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Madgett Law, LLC is not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, this site. Acting on general information without advice about your own circumstances is a decision you make.
