Founder & Lead Attorney: JD, MBA
Minnesota farming is a way of life passed down through generations. Whether you’re running a dairy operation near Willmar, growing corn and soybeans in the southern tier, or managing cattle in the northwest corner: your family has poured everything into the land.
But without the right legal plan, all of that is at risk. A will that doesn’t account for Minnesota’s probate rules. A drainage dispute with your neighbor that spirals out of control. A family disagreement that ends up in Hennepin County court instead of around the kitchen table.
That’s exactly why we serve Minnesota. Kole Pederson is a licensed Minnesota attorney who understands ag operations from the inside, and delivers every service 100% remotely so you never have to leave the farm.
Your succession plan is clear, funded, and legally sound under Minnesota statute. Your children know exactly what’s happening: no guesswork, no courtroom disputes in Hennepin or Blue Earth County, and no siblings fighting over who gets the home quarter.
Your Minnesota farmland, equipment, and livestock are structured properly. Long-term care costs won’t drain the operation. The entity structure fits how your dairy, grain, or livestock operation actually runs.
No 40-page documents full of legal jargon. You’ll understand every piece of your plan, how it interacts with Minnesota probate and property law, and exactly what happens next. Because a plan you don’t understand is a plan that doesn’t work.
Every practice area we handle is rooted in the real challenges that Minnesota farmers, ranchers, and ag business owners face, from drainage disputes to dairy succession.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and succession plans tailored for Minnesota agricultural families. Includes trust funding and asset retitling, because a trust that isn’t funded won’t protect your prairie farmstead.
When a family member passes, the last thing you need is confusion around Minnesota probate law. We handle estate settlement through the Minnesota courts so the farm keeps running without interruption.
LLCs, partnerships, corporate compliance, and ag business law for Minnesota operations. We build entity structures around how your dairy, sugar beet, or grain operation actually runs.
Buying land, reviewing title, negotiating wind and solar leases across Minnesota’s growing renewable corridor, or structuring a 1031 exchange: your ground deserves an attorney who knows its value.
Minnesota drainage law, buffer strip compliance, USDA program counsel, and wetland mitigation. The complex water and drainage issues that come up on Minnesota farmland.
Tell us what’s going on. We’ll listen, point you in the right direction, and give you an honest answer, all from the comfort of your Minnesota farm.
Passing a Minnesota farm to the next generation takes more than a will. A good succession plan decides who runs the operation, who owns the land, and how children who don't farm are treated fairly. It also plans for Minnesota's own estate tax, which applies at a lower level than the federal tax, and for long-term care costs.
We build Minnesota succession plans fully remotely. That usually means a revocable trust, an LLC or other entity for the land or the operation, a buy-sell agreement, and a clear timeline for handing over management. Documents are signed through remote online notarization, so you never leave the farm.
Minnesota has its own rules for farms. These are the Minnesota issues we help farm families and ag businesses with most often.
We serve all 87 Minnesota counties remotely. Kole Pederson is licensed in Minnesota and Nebraska.
Most Minnesota farm families have never had an attorney who actually understands their operation. Kole didn’t learn about agriculture from a textbook: he learned it in the cab of a tractor and on the back of a spray plane. That’s why remote service works: he already speaks your language.
Kole grew up raising crops and livestock. He still holds an ATP pilot rating and works as an aerial applicator. When you explain your Minnesota operation, he already understands what’s at stake.
We serve all 87 Minnesota counties without you ever leaving the farm. Phone, video, or email: whatever works for your schedule. Documents are signed through remote online notarization, and originals are shipped when needed.
Every engagement is flat-fee. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Minnesota farmers and ranchers get the same straightforward pricing as every client we serve.
A signed trust only works once your assets are moved into it. Every estate plan includes proper trust funding and asset retitling under Minnesota law, because a trust that isn’t funded is a trust that doesn’t work.
“Kole is truly one of a kind when it comes to agricultural law. His background actually comes from farming, so he doesn’t just understand the legal side: he understands the lifestyle, the land, and what’s really at stake for farm families. He is practical and tells it like it is. No jargon, no fluff, just honest guidance that works for the actual reality of agriculture. If you need someone who gets what it means to be in this business, Kole is your guy!”
