Don’t Wait, Plan Ahead.

Wills

A will lets you clearly outline how your belongings, finances, and property should be passed on. It removes uncertainty and gives your family clear direction and peace of mind.

Estates & Probate

Estate and probate work together to outline everything you own when you pass away and to guide the court process that ensures that your affairs are handled properly.

Creating a will isn’t just for people with large estates: everyone has wishes worth protecting. This short checklist is aimed to help you prepare for key decisions involved in creating a legally valid will in the state of Michigan.

Estate planning is the process of legally documenting how you want your assets, property, and personal matters handled if you pass away or become unable to make decisions for yourself. A proper plan protects your legacy.

Why is estate planning important?

Any adult with assets, children, or personal wishes should have a plan. Major life events (such as marriage, divorce, a new home, having children, or retirement) trigger the need for an update.

What does a will do?

A will explains how your assets should be distributed and who will care for any minor children. It can also name an executor to manage your estate if necessary.

What happens if I die without a will?

In cases where someone passes away without a will in place, the state will ultimately decide how your assets are divided. The process can be lengthy, stressful, and expensive.

What is a trust?

A trust is a legal arrangement that allows a ‘trustee’ of your choice to manage and distribute assets according to your instructions both during your life and after you pass away. A trust can avoid probate and manage assets.

What is probate?

Probate is the court-supervised process of validating a will, paying debts, and distributing assets. Simple probate cases can take 6-12 months, whereas more complicated cases may take longer.
