What Our Elder Law Team Can Do For You

Estate Planning

We will help you with all of your Michigan estate planning needs. This extends from asset protection, and distribution, to protecting your health care interests. We always take the time to explain to you all of your possible options in order to ensure that your specific estate planning goals are achieved. You may need something simple like a revision to an existing will, or you may be setting up an estate plan for the very first time. Regardless, we are here to help.

Long Term Care

As aging occurs, the possibility that long-term care will be needed increases. We want you are your family to be prepared for that scenario. We know that extended care is extremely expensive. Many portage families worry that they will be unable to pay for the care that an older relative desperately needs. Our elder law team can help. We have extensive experience working with Medicaid and the application processes at local assisted living facilities. If you are worried about how you will pay for necessary long-term care, please give our office a call today.

Medical Directives

A medical directive is a legal document that provides instructions for how your medical care should proceed in the event that you are unable to make that decision for yourself. It is a valuable document, and it can help ensure that all Michigan residents are fully prepared. We also encourage everyone to set up a power of attorney for health care. This will ensure that someone you trust will have the ability to make the decisions for you that are in your best interests.

Probate and Trust Administration

When it comes time to administer the estate of a loved one, the family members always have a lot on their minds. We want to make sure that the legal process does not become a distraction. Proper preparation can help everything go more smoothly, but we will also help administer your estate when the time comes. Whether it is Michigan’s probate process or the administration of a family trust, our team is ready to help.
