This is a bonus post in the series, How to Grow a Probate Practice.
On February 9th, I wrote about resources every probate attorney in Minnesota needs to have in order to grow their practice.
Here’s an extra tip that may seem obvious but is infrequently followed: Read the probate code. All of it. Regularly.
You can’t really learn probate without reading the statutes covering probate mainly found in Chapter 524 and 525 of the Minnesota Statutes. Unlike many areas of the law, the probate statutes are laid out very well and are easy to read once you have a basic understanding of probate.
Over a year ago, I developed a reading plan that would take me through the probate code each year. If you’d like to try the plan to keep you on track, check out my Probate Code Reading Plan post. The reading plan can be downloaded there. Although I have not updated it with the new statues added at the beginning of this year, you can easily make modifications to it in Excel.
Starting tomorrow: How to Make the Phone Ring with Business. There is so much I want to share, I’m spreading it out over several days. Don’t miss it.
