Estate Planning and Administration

A lifetime of work and investment should result in rewards for your heirs, not the taxing authorities.

Our estate plans can meet many different needs and goals:

Asset preservation
Protection for dependents
Business continuity and succession
Tax planning

Our estate plan proposal for you may include:

Original or updated will
Revocable trusts (original or updated)
Irrevocable trusts
Life insurance trusts
Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (available now in Michigan in 2017)
Funeral Representative Designation to detail your funeral wishes

During your lifetime, you should consider having the following documents to allow for care and decision making consistent with your desires:

Financial power of attorney (to allow financial decisions if you are not able)
Health care power of attorney and patient advocate (to allow medical decision if you are not able)

Succession and Business Continuity Plans may include:

Family limited liability companies
Buy –sell agreements tailored to your needs and industry

We can also help to administer the estate of someone you love who has passed, including accounting for and distributing assets, trust administration, and probate proceedings.

Our attorneys have completed the requirements and received a Certificate of Completion in the areas of probate and estate planning issued by the Institute of Continuing Legal Education and the Probate and Estate Planning Section of the State of Michigan.
