Estate Planning
Many people believe that estate planning involves nothing more than the distribution of assets after death. While this is certainly an important part of the process, a comprehensive estate plan protects you now and in the future. Contact us today to create planning documents that will provide the peace of mind you deserve.
Elder Law/Medicaid Planning
If you’re not careful, the challenges of aging can put everything you’ve worked for at risk. Our elder law/Medicaid planning team helps you protect your assets while qualifying for vital government benefits to pay for the care you need. Whether you’re being proactive or are already dealing with a crisis situation, contact us today to learn more about your options.
Probate
Probate is the legal process of retitling and distributing a person’s assets according to the terms of their will or Michigan’s intestacy laws if they passed away without a valid will. If you’ve recently lost a loved one and have been named the personal representative of their estate, our experienced attorneys can help you through the probate process and address any issues that could lead to estate litigation.
Veterans Benefits
The Aid and Attendance Pension Program helps Veterans or their widowed spouses who can no longer live independently afford the care they need. It can be used to reimburse relatives providing care or to pay the cost of professional care in the home, assisted living care, and nursing home care. Let us help you access this program so you can remain independent for as long as possible.
Special Needs Planning
People with special needs deserve to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.
