> ## Estate Planning
Our comprehensive estate planning services help clients prepare for the future and achieve peace of mind. We assist with:
* **Wills & Trusts:** Creating a last will and testament, as well as establishing both revocable and irrevocable trusts to manage assets, avoid probate, and protect your family's future.
* **Medicaid Estate Planning:** Strategic planning to protect assets from the high costs of long-term care and nursing homes, ensuring your family's financial security while still qualifying for benefits.
* **Special Needs Planning:** Designing specialized trusts and guardianships to ensure a secure financial future for families with special needs children without jeopardizing their government benefits.
* **Incapacity Planning:** Drafting powers of attorney for both financial and medical decisions to ensure your wishes are followed if you become unable to manage your own affairs.

## Probate Care
We provide compassionate and knowledgeable guidance through the legal process after the death of a loved one. Our services include:
* **Probate Administration:** Guiding executors and personal representatives through the Michigan probate court process, including validating a will, valuing assets, and distributing the estate.
* **Avoiding Probate:** Offering legal strategies to help families transfer assets efficiently and privately, reducing stress and costs.

## Business Law
Our firm provides strategic legal counsel to help business owners grow, manage, and protect their ventures. Our services include:
* **Business Formation:** Assisting with the legal setup of new businesses, including LLCs, corporations, and partnerships, to establish a strong legal foundation.
* **Succession Planning:** Developing plans for the seamless transition of business ownership, whether through a sale, family transfer, or retirement, to protect your legacy.
* **Contracts & Agreements:** Drafting and reviewing business contracts, including buy-sell agreements and operating agreements, to minimize risk and prevent future disputes.
