Will-based planning

Michigan Wills and Will-Based Plans

A Michigan will can name a Personal Representative, direct the disposition of probate assets, nominate guardians for minor children, and create trusts that arise at death.

What a will can do

A carefully drafted will gives the probate court and your family clear direction.

  • Name the person responsible for administering your estate
  • Nominate guardians for minor children
  • Create testamentary trusts for children or other beneficiaries
  • Direct distribution of property controlled by the probate estate

What a will does not do

A will does not itself keep assets out of probate. Whether a will-based or trust-based plan makes sense depends on your assets and objectives.

Plan with clarity.

Begin with a secure preliminary intake. No attorney-client relationship is formed until the firm completes review and a written engagement agreement is accepted.
