Wills & Trusts
A properly drafted will or trust is the foundation of any estate plan. We help Farmington Hills families choose between a last will and testament, a revocable living trust, or a combination of both - based on your assets, your family structure, and your goals for avoiding probate.
Boutique & Advanced Trusts
For families with complex assets, blended families, or significant wealth, we design customized trust structures that go beyond standard planning - including irrevocable trusts, asset protection strategies, and multi-generational planning.
Legacy Planning
Estate planning isn't just about transferring assets - it's about preserving what matters most. Our legacy planning services help Oakland County families communicate values, protect family businesses, and create a lasting impact for future generations.
Trust Administration
When a loved one passes and a trust needs to be administered, we guide successor trustees through every step - from notifying beneficiaries to transferring assets and closing the trust - in full compliance with Michigan law.
Special Needs Planning
Families caring for a loved one with special needs require specialized planning to protect government benefit eligibility. We create special needs trusts that preserve your loved one's quality of life without disqualifying them from Medicaid or SSI.
Powers of Attorney & Advance Directives
A durable power of attorney and healthcare directive ensure your financial and medical decisions are handled by someone you trust if you become incapacitated. These documents are essential for every adult in Michigan, regardless of age or wealth.
