Protect your assets and get peace of mind with an expert Attorney for Wills in Michigan

A Will is a legal document that outlines how your assets, property and finances will be handled upon your death, as well as assigns a Personal Representative for your financial matters.

It must be approved by the Michigan Probate Court before it can be administered. A Will can be created in conjunction with a Trust.

Properly Creating a Will

Any person of legal age, and of sound mind, can create a Will. To do so, you must follow certain guidelines, including using a proper title, a statement that all other wills are revoked and that you are of sound mind, witness signatures (who are not beneficiaries) and your own signature.

An experienced Estate Planning Attorney ensures that you have all of the right information, in the right format to stand up in court.

If a Will is not legally valid, the probate court will handle the estate as if the Will never existed. The Michigan Probate Court will deliver inheritance, disperse property and pay debts according to state law, as if your wishes never existed.

This is why it is very important to hire an experienced Estate Planning Attorney to aid in the creation of your Will. There are many things to consider when guaranteeing the legality of your Will, and they are all essential to ensure your wishes are carried out. Imagine your family’s hardship if your entire estate is taken over by the Intestate Law of the State of Michigan because of a paperwork error. You don’t want them to go through that.
