What We Do
Clear guidance for life’s most important legal decisions.
Life brings milestones that require careful legal planning – and we are here for all of them. Whether you’re thinking about the future, caring for an aging parent, building a business, or navigating a family transition, we offer personalized guidance and lasting solutions.
At Lewis Kannegieter Law, Ltd. we focus on the legal matters that affect you and your family most. Our practice is built around our Total Approach – the belief that good legal planning looks at the whole picture, not just the documents. Whatever you’re facing, we’re here to lend a helping hand.
Our Practice Areas
Total Estate Planning: More than a will or trust – a complete plan that protects your family, reflects your wishes, and prepares your loved ones for whatever comes. Our Total Estate Planning approach goes beyond traditional estate planning to make sure nothing is left to chance.
Parents’ Peace of Mind Planning: Comprehensive legal protection for your children at every stage of life – from naming guardians for young children to making sure your college student has the documents they need in an emergency.
Elder Law Planning: Thoughtful planning for the legal and financial challenges that come with aging – including long-term care planning, Medical Assistance (Medicaid) eligibility, and making sure the right people have the authority to help when it’s needed most.
Family Cabin Planning: Keep your most cherished Minnesota property in the family – and keep the family together. We help cabin owners and their heirs create a legal structure that protects the property and prevents conflict for generations to come.
Estate Administration & Probate: Losing a loved one is difficult. Taking care of their estate shouldn’t be. We guide Personal Representatives and families through the probate process with compassion, clarity, and practical support every step of the way.
Business Formation & Planning: Build your business on a solid legal foundation – and make sure it fits into your broader estate plan. We help Minnesota small business owners choose the right structure, get properly established, and plan for the future.
Future Focused Family Law: Our family law practice focuses on uncontested matters – helping clients move forward with clarity and compassion rather than prolonged conflict. We handle uncontested divorce, stepparent and adult adoption, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements: Not a lack of trust – a plan built on it. We help couples use prenuptial and postnuptial agreements as positive planning tools that protect their families and complement their estate plans.
Stepparent & Adult Adoption: Making it official – because family is about love, not just biology. We guide families through uncontested stepparent and adult adoptions with care, compassion, and genuine celebration for what this milestone represents.
