Estate Planning
Our firm provides legal advice and services to individuals to help them plan and carefully prepare for their future.
We represent clients regarding:
- Goals and Purpose: We review a client’s assets and provide analysis and recommend the best structure and approach to achieve their goals
- Focus on Business Assets: An integral part of the process requires that we provide alternative methods to deal with an individual or family's business assets to achieve a structure that is carries out the intentions of each generation and balance the impact of various government tax structures.
- Planning Solutions to Reduce the Federal Estate Tax Exposure: Using techniques that have been proven effective and applying the law to the client's unique needs, we examine ways to achieve goals that also reduce taxes.
- Creation of Insurance Trusts: Identifying the ownership of policies and carefully transferring those policies to trusts to achieve the client's goals and remove a potentially large estate tax exposure. These trusts can dispose of assets in an almost identical fashion as testamentary trusts.
- Will and Trust Drafting: Achieving the interests of the Testator and the family through careful drafting resolves many issues that families may face in finding a way to dispose of assets.
- Advance Directives: Michigan permits a great deal of flexibility in deciding what level of care one wants in their last illness and who decides when and how to provide nourishment and other medical needs.
