Prepare for the possibility of incapacity. If you were to become incapacitated, you would not be able to manage your affairs. Without proper estate planning, someone would have to petition the court to become your legal guardian or conservator. This process is often called living probate. This can be avoided through proper estate planning, such as the use of revocable living trusts and powers of attorney.
Business owners must consider succession planning from both short and long-term perspectives early on, and develop a plan that meets your specific goals. For most business owners, their business interests are their most important assets. I work with entrepreneurs to develop the strategy and implement the tools which allows them to transition their business interests to their children, other existing partners or unknown future buyers.
The cost of health care and long-term care is skyrocketing. Many Michigan seniors find that they must rely on Medicaid to pay for their long-term care or nursing home costs (which can exceed $6,000 per month). Unfortunately, many Michigan families facing these exorbitant costs are receiving poor advice from their neighbors, friends, family and even advisors regarding their Medicaid and long-term care options.
The administration of an estate after a loved one has passed can be an extremely stressful and confusing time. In addition to the emotional impact of the loss, there is the legal need to administer the decedent's estate in a timely and organized way. We compassionately assist our clients in the administration of decedents' estates, regardless of whether the individual died intestate, with a will, or with a trust.
