Michigan Probate and Estate Planning Attorney

Estate Planning is the process of planning for what you want to happen at death or incapacity.  Through your estate plan, you may provide for an orderly transfer of your property at death, authorize others to transact business on your behalf, name a guardian for your minor children, authorize another person to make health care decisions for you when you are unable to make them for yourself. This requires a professional advisor who is familiar with your goals and concerns, your assets and how they are owned, and your family structure.

The estate planning process involves a detailed discussion of your assets and liabilities, and your personal goals of how and to whom you would like them distributed when you die. There are a number of methods available to effect distribution, but some methods have advantages in given circumstances. We will help you determine the estate plan that is most suitable to your situation, and prepare the document that will accomplish your goals.
