Probate

Probate litigation often results from a lack of estate planning. We also help clients serving as the executor or trustee of an estate. This responsibility frequently comes at a very emotional time in life, and the court processes involved can be overwhelming and complex. Probate litigation arises from many issues, including undue influence, arguments over personal or real property, incapacity, and guardianship.

We can help you sort through the legal paperwork and accounting that is required by the court. For information related to your specific situation contact us now at 810-235-1100 to set up an appointment.
 
Wills
 
Make your wishes known before it's too late. We draft the will and trust documents that will protect you and your family from the interference of courts in making important personal decisions. While thinking about and planning for these decisions is not pleasant, by being prepared you will ensure that your wishes will be carried out, and that your loved ones will be spared any additional stress during a difficult time.

 
Why do I need a will?
 
Tragedy can strike at any time. If you die without a will, the courts will decide how your property is divided based upon the state laws of intestacy. The courts will also decide who will be given custody of your minor children. There is no way to guarantee that the decision the court makes based upon the law will reflect your wishes. That is why it is so important to have a well-crafted will - it is the only way to ensure that after you're gone, the courts will uphold your wishes.
 
Why now?
 
Quite simply, if you keep putting off the decision to draft a will, you might run out of time, leaving a judge to decide these important issues. We will make the process as painless as possible, and ensure that the documents are properly drafted, so that in the future, no one can challenge the decisions you make today.
