Michigan Estate Planning Attorney

Do you know where to find an estate attorney in Michigan? They are all over the state, including Grand Rapids, Lansing and Flint. Michigan estate planning attorneys have chosen to specialize in the area of estates and Michigan estate law. Legal Match is a company that specializes in helping you find the right local attorney for your needs.

If you do not have a will an estate attorney can help you write one. When your will is created by an attorney you have a very good chance of it standing up in court. There are times, however, when a will could be contested. In addition to a will you could talk to your attorney about creating a trust, that way your property would be more likely to pass on uncontested. That is just one advantage of a living trust.

One of the best things your estate planning attorney can do is show you the many different ways of having your estate avoid probate court when you die. A trust is one way, joint tenancy with the right of survivorship is another. Joint bank accounts might be recommended as well as gifting portions of your estate while you are alive.

This site is about personal finance and an estate plan is just part of the overall picture. What usually leads to needing an estate plan is a good financial plan. Hopefully yours is doing great and the assets are piling up. As this happens taxes of all kinds become more of an issue. Be sure to read our page about estate planning and taxes and then talk it over with your attorney.

Legal work of any type requires lots of forms. By obtaining some of these forms on your own you may be able to reduce you legal costs. Legal Zoom should have everything you need in the way of forms and documents.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
