Business, Estate & Property Experience Under One Roof

Decades of Experience. One Attorney Who Knows Your Matter.
William Syverson has practiced law in Minnesota since 1993, with a background spanning business and tax law, mergers and acquisitions, business succession, and corporate transactions.
Today, that experience supports a practice focused on the legal matters that often overlap for Minnesota families and business owners. A family cabin can raise estate planning and real estate questions. A business owner's estate plan may need to address succession. Probate may involve property or a closely held company.
At Syverson PLLC, those issues can be considered together by the same attorney.

How do I choose an estate planning attorney in Central Minnesota?
Consider the attorney's experience, whether you will work directly with that attorney, and whether the practice handles related matters such as probate, business ownership, and real estate.
Syverson PLLC handles estate planning alongside these related areas, allowing the plan to account for issues that may affect your family and property later.
Can one attorney handle both my estate plan and my business?
Yes. For business owners, estate planning and business succession are often closely connected.
Ownership agreements, succession plans, and estate planning documents should work together rather than create conflicting instructions about what happens to the company.
Do I need an estate plan if I do not have a large estate?
Estate planning is not limited to people with substantial wealth. A plan can address who receives your property, who can make financial or health care decisions if you cannot, and who will be responsible for carrying out your wishes.
