Safe Harbor Estate Law Annual Salt of The Earth Award

About the award:

Safe Harbor Estate Law, of Saint Paul, MN, is honored to announce that nominations are open for their annual award to honor an “unsung hero” who has lived a life dedicated to serving others in the community with compassion, integrity, consistency, humility, and faith.

The Ervin F. and Beverly A. Barrett Salt of the Earth Award is inspired by lives of the first recipients, the late Ervin F. Barrett and his wife Beverly A. Barrett. Mr. and Mrs. Barrett’s exemplary lives demonstrate integrity, compassion and dedication to others motivated by their Christian faith.

The term “salt of the earth” famously first appeared in the Sermon on the Mount, when Jesus described his followers as the “Salt of the Earth” and exhorted them to not lose flavor. “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, expect to be thrown out and trampled by men”. Matthew 5:13 NIV. Salt was a valuable preservative at that time, and today it is still a mineral needed by all living things.

Like salt, a person described as the salt of the earth is flavorful, distinctive in taste, texture and aroma, enhancing life. The salt of the earth refers to someone who is respected, reliable, trustworthy, caring, faithful, and honest – someone who deals with difficult or demanding situations without making unnecessary fuss.

The Salt of the Earth award includes a gift of $1000 to be donated to the charity(ies) chosen by the recipient.

“I appreciated how easily and professionally they guided me!”

Safe Harbor Estate Law first worked with me in 2017 to complete my Living Will and Estate Plan. They were very thorough and everything went smoothly.

“We were surprised at how easy it turned out to be.”

We were very pleased with the service from Safe Harbor. After years of procrastinating, we finally decided we needed to move forward and get our estate planning completed, which involved setting up a living trust. We were surprised at how easy it turned out to be. Safe Harbor tailored our will and trust documents to some unique need we had and all is now

I am now 100% comfortable and confident, as are my children!

I had put off getting a will done for 6 years, even after being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma 4 years ago. Then I watched Safe Harbor’s webinar just to learn some will/estate planning information. That webinar answered so many questions for me and made me realize the big mistake I was making by not finalizing a will. So I scheduled a consultation immediately

“I appreciate all they’ve done and would highly recommend them!”

Safe Harbor Estate Law was recommended by a lawyer friend. From the very beginning I was impressed with the respect and compassion with which we were treated. My goal was to come away with a plan that would protect our assets. I now have that plan which is very thorough, providing me with peace of mind. Working with the team at Safe Harbor Estate Law was a positive experience. All of the attorney I worked with were very professional. Michael Teeter, especially, is knowledgeable, explaining all the complexities. He was also patient and responsive in answering my follow-up questions, often more than once.
