What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and distribution of your assets upon your passing or incapacitation. It ensures that your wealth is passed on to your beneficiaries efficiently while minimizing taxes and legal complications. A well-crafted estate plan includes essential legal documents such as:

• Wills: A legal document that specifies how your assets should be distributed after your death.
• Trusts: Financial arrangements that allow a trustee to manage assets on behalf of beneficiaries.
• Powers of Attorney: Legal authority granted to an individual to make financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf.
• Advance Directives: Documents outlining your medical preferences in case you become unable to communicate your wishes.

Our Bloomfield Hills estate and probate lawyers take a personalized approach to estate planning, tailoring strategies to fit your unique needs and goals.

Probate in Michigan

Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person's estate, ensuring debts are paid and assets are distributed according to their will or state law if no will exists. In Michigan, probate can be a complex process, but our attorneys guide clients through every step, including:

• Filing the Will: Submitting the will to the probate court to validate its authenticity.
• Estate Administration: Managing and distributing assets, paying off debts, and addressing creditor claims.
• Dispute Resolution: Handling will contests, beneficiary disputes, and other legal challenges.
• Intestate Succession: Managing estates without a will according to Michigan state law.

Michigan offers both formal and informal probate procedures, and our attorneys will help you determine the most efficient approach for your situation.
