Trust agreements can be attractive to Michigan residents for many reasons - and with Michigan's new Trust Code (effective April 1, 2010), trusts are now even easier to use. I meet with select clients in the comfort and convenience of their own homes and often offer evening and Saturday consultations. In many situations, I am able to offer a flat fee for preparation of trust agreements or amendments. If you'd like to learn more about trusts, contact me to find out about the classes I teach.

I offer general estate planning assistance by preparing legal documents such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, patient advocate designations, deeds, family partnerships, limited liability companies and more.

With everyone rushing to prepare trusts to avoid probate, "probate" has almost become a dirty word! The key to getting through a probate estate with as little hassle as possible is to be organized! Working with the right attorney can make all the difference in the world. Even the best-planned estates sometimes end up with a small probate issue - handling things right will stop a small issue from getting out of hand!
