Estate Planning Services

A common perception is that estate planning merely involves the distribution of assets after death; however, a well-thought through and implemented plan gives you maximum control over your assets and allows you to protect them while you are alive, in the period immediately following your passing, and for generations to come. We work with you to create custom comprehensive estate plans, based on your particular situation, designed to help you achieve all of the following and more:

Give specific direction as to how your assets should be distributed, when and to whom.
Choose a guardian and/or conservator for your minor children.
Choose who will handle medical and financial decisions if you become incapacitated and can no longer manage your own affairs. And, give specific direction as to how you would like your financial and medical issues handled in those situations.
Avoid the Michigan probate process (and the associated delays, lack of privacy, and costs, including unnecessary attorney fees).
Leave a lasting and meaningful legacy.
Protect your legacy from creditors, lawsuits, divorce, remarriage, and other potential problems that arise from your heirs.
Minimize or even eliminate estate, gift and other taxes.
Pass your values, work ethic and sense of responsibility on to your heirs.
Enjoy greater peace of mind.

We accomplish these goals by working closely with you to gain an understanding of your specific situation and goals. Then, we employ several estate planning tools and techniques in combination to best accomplish your goals. The following is a brief introduction to some of those tools.

We are also happy to review and suggest revisions to your currently implemented estate planning documents to ensure that they include all appropriate provisions and accurately reflect your wishes.

The earlier you begin the planning process, the more options we will have to protect your loved ones and yourself.
