Ann M. Anderson
Chief Financial Officer
Ann founded Generations Legal Services in 2011 after seeing a void in the estate planning process, leaving individuals exposed and not fully understanding what they had or how it was protected. She applies her twenty-plus years of experience working in Fortune 500 companies to deliver exceptional service and build lasting relationships with both clients and key partners. Ann holds a Resident Producer license in the state of Minnesota. In her free time, you can find her volunteering at a variety of animal rescues, spending time with her family or exploring beautiful places.
