Estate Planning Services Tailored to Your Wishes
Creating an estate plan is one of the most meaningful steps you can take to protect the people you love. No matter your age, health, or financial situation, having a thoughtful plan in place brings lasting peace of mind. While many large firms rely on a one‑size‑fits‑all approach, Wandling Law provides the personal, one‑on‑one guidance your family deserves.
Your life will change over time, and your estate plan should change with it. At Wandling Law, we build long‑term relationships with our clients. Attorney David Wandling takes the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and craft a plan that reflects your wishes today—and adapts as your needs evolve.
Guidance You Can Trust When Planning for the Future
Many people put off estate planning because it feels uncomfortable or overwhelming. But having a plan is essential. It allows you—not the courts—to decide what happens to your assets, who will make decisions for you if you cannot, and how your loved ones will be cared for. A well‑crafted estate plan provides clarity, control, and peace of mind for you and your family.
Whether you have questions about wills, trusts, incapacity planning, or any other estate planning issue, Wandling Law is here to help. With more than 30 years of legal experience, David brings the knowledge, compassion, and attention to detail that clients trust and rely on.
A Personal, Experienced Approach to Estate Planning
David provides clear, practical guidance across all areas of estate planning, including:
Wills
From simple wills to more complex plans, we draft, review, and update documents to reflect your changing life and goals.
Trusts
Trusts can help you manage assets during your lifetime, avoid probate, and maintain privacy. We help you evaluate which trust options best fit your needs.
Health Care Directives
Ensure your medical wishes are honored by providing clear instructions to your loved ones and health care providers.
Powers of Attorney
These essential documents allow you to appoint trusted individuals to make financial and health‑care decisions if you become incapacitated.
Guardianships
We help you name guardians for minor children or adults with special needs, ensuring they are cared for by the people you trust most.
Preserving your legacy starts with a plan. We’re here to help you create one that reflects your values and protects your family.

Managing the Probate Process
- When a loved one passes, Wandling Law guides families through the legal process of “probate”.
- Probate is the court‑supervised legal process by which a person’s property is transferred after they die, ensuring assets are collected, debts are paid, and remaining property is distributed according to a will or, if there is no will, according to Minnesota intestacy law.
- Our objective is to ensure the deceased estate’s debts and taxes are paid, disputes are resolved, and assets are distributed to loved ones efficiently and respectfully.
