About
Hi, I'm Alex Glassmann, a Minnesota wills and trusts lawyer. I can help you plan so that when something happens to you, the people you love are provided for, your wishes are honored, and your family stays out of court—and out of conflict.
For the first decade of my career, I was a mediator—hundreds of family cases, plus a few years teaching mediation at the University of Minnesota Law School. So I've seen what happens when planning goes wrong. Then I watched it happen in my own family: an expensive trust that only worked if three heirs cooperated. They couldn't. The plan fell apart, and so did the relationships.
It bothered me that this is not malpractice. It's common practice. And that motivated me to build something different.
At Sea of the North, fees are flat and all-inclusive—no hourly meter, no surprise bills, so you never hesitate to call. Every plan gets a free review every three years, because the plan that fits today won't fit in five. And every plan includes a recorded interview, so your family inherits your voice and your values—not just your money and your stuff.
I live in Apple Valley with my wife, Kylen, and our daughters, Flo and Frankie, and I'm lucky to serve families across Minnesota. Wherever you're starting from, I'd be honored to help you build a plan—and a legacy—your family can count on.

PS — While I don't market for mediation anymore, I still take word-of-mouth referrals, helping families through divorce and co-parenting with as little damage as possible.
