What to Know About Estate Planning
Here are some of the most common questions we hear from clients who want to protect their future and loved ones.
What happens if I die without a will in Michigan?
Your estate will be distributed according to Michigan’s intestate succession laws, which may not reflect your wishes. Having a will ensures your choices—not state formulas—determine what happens.
Do I need both a will and a trust?
Not always—but many clients benefit from having both. Wills handle probate assets, while trusts can manage property, reduce taxes & simplify transitions. We’ll help you decide what fits.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Every 3–5 years—or any time you experience a major life change, like marriage, divorce, a new child, or significant financial shift.
What’s the difference between a living will and a power of attorney?
A living will outlines medical wishes. A healthcare power of attorney names someone to make decisions. Together, they provide full protection for medical scenarios.
Is estate planning only for people with large estates?
No. Estate planning is for anyone who wants to protect loved ones, make decisions easier, or control how assets are passed down. It's about peace of mind—not just wealth.
