Anyone above 18 years of age should consider establishing a formal Estate plan, but especially those with blended families, parents of small children, those who have specific preferences regarding end-of-life treatment, and anyone with an estate containing valuable assets.
Our Michigan Estate Planning Services include:
A Trust legally empowers a person as the nominal owner of any property or resources, and allows them to distribute said property or resources for the benefit of one or more persons. Our Estate Planning Attorneys can also guide you through the process of funding your Trust. Contact our office for help in deciding which type of Trust would best meet your needs. Learn more about Trusts.
These are critical documents that give someone the legal authority to act on your behalf. These documents are designed to protect your rights and wishes in both medical and financial situations where you may not be able to make your wishes known. Our Estate Planning Team is experienced in drafting Powers of Attorney to meet your unique situation. Contact us for help with yours today.
Sometimes called an Advance Directive or Health Care Directive, this is a formal statement detailing your desires regarding medical treatment, especially if circumstances arise when you are no longer able to express your wishes or give informed consent. Contact our Estate Planning Team to help you formulate a Living Will that meets your planning needs. Learn more about Living Wills.
Businesses of all sizes should have a succession plan in place in the event of untimely circumstances surrounding a shareholder, partner, owner, or key team member. A clear plan of succession can prevent confusion and control disputes. Our professional Estate Planning Attorneys have helped many companies set up effective succession plans. Contact us for help setting up your business succession plan. Learn more about Business Succession Planning.

At Mall Malisow & Cooney, our Michigan Estate Planning Lawyers can help you minimize the tax consequences so your beneficiaries receive what you intend. Contact our estate planning legal team today for help with your gifting plans.
