It all began with two separate law firms that joined forces in order to better serve the needs of the community. Kris Maser and Luther Amundson founded Maser & Amundson, P.A. in 1984, specializing in estates, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, estate and trust administration, private investigation, litigation and medical malpractice. Randy Boggio, shareholder of Garvey, Boggio P.A., focused primarily on elder law, special and supplemental needs trusts, estate planning, probate and trust administration, guardianships and conservatorships. Over the years, the two firms collaborated on various cases, leveraging each other’s strengths and areas of expertise. The partners formed a strong professional bond based on trust, respect, and a shared passion for helping families facing difficult times. In 2013, the two firms joined forces and formed Maser, Amundson, Boggio, P.A. The key benefits of the merger include broader and deeper expertise across multiple areas of elder law, an improved ability to serve a larger number of families, as well as the hiring and training of associate attorneys who will one day carry on the tradition of Maser, Amundson, Boggio, P.A. The merger also provides them with the ability to offer clients life care planning through the collaboration of their attorneys and Elder Care Coordinator. As a larger, more robust firm, Maser, Amundson, Boggio, P.A. can serve the community in a way that truly makes a difference in people’s lives.

Elder Law
Estate Planning
What It Is
Estate planning encompasses finances, plans for incapacity and/or disability, care for minor children, estate taxes, charitable donations and valuables. The purpose of estate planning is to help individuals preserve their autonomy as they age. We build a strong team for our clients by choosing agents to represent their best interests, and enable them to leave a legacy to their family or various charities.
How It Works
Our attorneys will meet with you and review your situation, finances, wishes regarding your loved ones, and any other information that is relevant to your case. We will explain the options available to you and recommend a plan that will meet your needs. Along the way, we’ll make sure that our approach upholds your wishes while simplifying the process for your loved ones.
How It Helps You
Estate planning brings you a sense of control regarding issues and things that are most important to you. You get to make a plan that will be carried out upon your incapacity or death. In addition, estate planning gives you peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones are taken care of, and that your assets are handled in a way that honors your deepest values and beliefs.

Estate and Trust Administration
What Is Estate and Trust Administration?
Estate and trust administration is the process through which an individual’s assets pass down to his or her beneficiaries using a will or a trust. Depending on the situation, estate or trust administration may be handled with or without a court hearing. Due to the complexities involved, it may be necessary to have an attorney to represent you throughout the process.
How It Works
Our attorneys will meet with you to determine how to best proceed with the administration of the trust or estate of an individual who has passed away. We will represent the Trustee or Personal Representative through the process in a timely and efficient manner.
How It Helps You
Losing someone you love is always difficult. We can help you by simplifying the business aspect of handling an estate or trust administration after a death. To learn more about estate and trust administration, call us at (952) 925-4147 or send us a quick email. We’ll be more than happy to chat with you.
What Is Guardianship and Conservatorship?
Guardianship and conservatorship issues affect individuals who are incapacitated or otherwise impaired and thus are not able to take care of themselves physically (in the case of guardianship) or their finances (in the case of conservatorship). A judge will determine whether an individual requires a guardian and/or a conservator. Guardianship and conservatorship are granted in order to protect the well-being and future of the incapacitated individual.
How It Works
Whether your disabled child is about to turn 18, or your elderly spouse suffers from late stages Alzheimer’s disease, you may find yourself in a situation where it is necessary to request that you (or someone else) be appointed as guardian or conservator. Our attorneys are highly skilled at navigating the required legal process to ensure your loved one receives the legal protection and care he or she deserves. We will serve as your guide and advisor through each step, making sure the court has all the relevant information to make the right decision.
Lawsuits & Disputes
Litigation
What Is Litigation?
Litigation becomes necessary when two parties are unable to come to agreement through negotiations, mediation, or any other means of settling disputes. Because litigation can be an expensive and stressful process, it is important that you have the right law firm by your side to provide the expertise, clarity, guidance and support as you pursue a fair outcome for your case.
How It Works
Our experienced litigation team offers the right combination of experience, knowledge, compassion and zealous representation you deserve. We follow a thorough process to vet all cases and only agree to represent those we believe we can win on behalf of our clients. We conduct a tremendous amount of research regarding your situation as well as how the law applies to your case. This allows us to identify, pursue and fight for the optimal outcome for you and your family.
What sets us apart from other law firms is that we never represent insurance companies; our focus is always on individuals who have suffered physical, emotional, mental or financial damages. Our goal is to obtain fair and adequate financial compensation for the injuries our clients have experienced.
We represent individuals across multiple areas of litigation, including:
- Trust Litigation
- Contested Guardianships and Conservatorships
- Will Contests
- Personal Injury
- Wrongful Death
How It Helps You
When we asked our litigation clients what they found to be most helpful about working with us, they said, “A sense of confidence and relief. Confidence that we had the right legal team in our corner and they would get us through this experience. Relief that we no longer had to figure out what to do – someone knowledgeable and compassionate was in charge.” Over the past three decades, we’ve pursued justice on behalf of hundreds of clients. Along the way, we’ve fought hard battles, provided robust legal advice, wiped away tears, held clients’ hands, and celebrated their wins.
