Evan Nelson Named Co-Chair of Litigation and Dispute Resolution Committee of the MSBA Probate Section

Maslon attorney Evan Nelson has been named co-chair of the Litigation and Dispute Resolution Committee of the Minnesota State Bar Association Probate, Trusts, and Estates Section. The committee monitors and reports on important court decisions in the probate area and initiates legal challenges when appropriate.

Evan describes himself as a “death and dirt” lawyer. He represents clients in trusts and estate disputes, which often come to a head after a family member has died, and in real estate litigation, where clients dispute who owns and controls access to "dirt." Because the two often intersect, as people will gift land (or attempt to do so) via their wills or trusts, Evan’s distinct capabilities prove particularly beneficial.

Evan also maintains an active pro bono practice, with significant experience in environmental, administrative, and Government Data Practices Act litigation.
