Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Minnesota

You want to review the residue clause of the will. It will typically operate to distribute any asset, whenever acquired. So, if there is no specific mention of your house in the will, it will pass as part of the residue. If you want to have the house NOT go where the residue clause directs, you need to do something, such as a Transfer on Death Deed, or amending the will, or creating a trust to hold the assets.
