Alonna Warns, one of Hennepin County’s Registrars, released today the latest issue of her newsletter, “Probate In Common.” In this issue (Vol. 7:1), she covers the following topics:
- Probates for Non-resident decedents
- Issues related to the Notice to Commissioner
- Dismissed Orders
- Common mistakes on Informal Applications
If you practice probate in Hennepin County, this newsletter is a must-read. It is distributed by email. To get on the email list, contact Alonna. I don’t know if this is still true or not, but in the past she had a few rules regarding getting on the list: non-attorneys/law firms were not allowed; only one email recipient per firm; and the email must go to a probate paralegal, unless a firm doesn’t have a paralegal– then it can go to an attorney.
Many of the back issues are eventually available for download here.
Even if you don’t practice in Hennepin County, you’ll want to download the back issues since they contain helpful tips regarding probate procedures in general, even if the information is mostly specific only to Hennepin County.

What you need to know about Minnesota’s new estate law legislation
by Boyd Johnson on June 15, 2010
Minnesota attorneys should be aware of new probate and trust law legislation recently signed into law. I have listed the highlights of the new laws on a guest post over at the Practice Law Blawg.
Additionally, in the post, I’ve listed 5 ways you can prepare for the most important (and potentially controversial) provisions of the new laws– those redefining the scope of parent-child relationships.
As an aside: the MSBA’s Practice Blawg frequently has posts of interest even to out-of-state attorneys. Make sure you check out this blog and consider adding it to your blog reader.
