Attorney in Edina, Minnesota
Estate planning and business law for families and entrepreneurs, explained in plain English.
Your first Legal Strategy Session is complimentary.
The Core Estate Plan
These core documents don’t need to be complicated or expensive and you will probably be surprised how easy it is to get these in place quickly if you don’t have them.
The central document in everyone’s estate plan. It can divide your assets, name guardians and trustees for your children, and make gifts to charities.
Names who can make medical decisions for you if you become incapacitated or are otherwise unable to speak for yourself.
Lets the people you choose see your medical records, so your healthcare agent has all of the available information.
“If you don’t understand all of your estate plan documents, I won’t let you sign them.”

Practice Areas
Andrew M. Ayers, P.C. serves two key groups of clients: individuals who want a comprehensive estate plan that provides a lasting legacy for their loved ones, and entrepreneurs who are launching a new business or need help growing their current business.
From new families who’ve never created a plan before to families ready to revise their old documents to reflect their current realities.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, HIPAA authorizations and living wills. It’s a good idea to have your documents reviewed every 2 to 3 years.
Starting a business, expanding an existing business, negotiating contracts, collecting client balances, business litigation, and succession or dissolution.
Clients range from family-owned and operated restaurants to manufacturing facilities with ambitious expansion plans.
If you have a child with special needs, a generic estate plan from a mail-merging website won’t protect them.
Simply gifting money outright can jeopardize a loved one’s claim to valuable government benefits. A trust can provide for them in the most effective way.
Also: prenuptial agreements, and moving Minnesota rental property into an LLC.
Meet Andrew
When people ask how I got into estate planning and business law, I tell them it all goes back to my grandfather. His estate plan helped pay for my education and set me on this path.
I’ve been practicing law for over 20 years. Before I opened my own firm in 2011, I worked at law firms in New York City.
I use modern tools like digital document signing, online scheduling, and a secure client portal. But I also know not everyone wants to “go digital,” so we’ll work in whatever way fits your style.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me with my family or nose-deep in a book. I’m on a personal quest to read at least 52 books a year, and I give one away every quarter, no strings attached.

Client Reviews
My wife and I set out to organize both our wills and a trust for our estate. We contacted Andrew for his legal expertise and advice and he delivered stellar service. This included describing options, explaining legal meanings, and use of his efficient document handling system. We tapped into his many useful and informative videos. He was easy to work with as he helped us reach our goals.
Thank you, Andrew!
