MN HF3560

Enacts the Uniform Electronic Estate Planning Documents Act as Minnesota Statutes chapter 533, establishing legal recognition for electronic estate planning documents and electronic signatures

Covers nontestamentary documents including trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, living wills, guardian nominations, mental health treatment declarations, and property disclaimers (excludes wills, real property deeds, and vehicle titles)

Allows "electronic presence" via audio-visual communication technology to satisfy witness and attestation requirements that would otherwise require physical presence, with accommodations for individuals with hearing, vision, or speech impairments

Permits certified paper copies of electronic documents to be created under penalty of perjury, with such copies presumed accurate absent clear and convincing evidence to the contrary

Preserves individual choice by prohibiting mandatory use of electronic formats—no person can be required to create or sign estate planning documents electronically even if they previously did so
