Estate Planning & Probate Administration

Planning ahead protects the people you care about and makes your wishes clear. I help individuals and families in Downriver (Wayne County) and Monroe County put a plan in place, and I help families handle estate administration after a loved one passes.

Wills

A will names who receives your property and who handles your estate. I’ll help you create a will that reflects your wishes and explain how it works under Michigan law.

Trusts

A trust can help manage assets, plan for loved ones, and may help an estate avoid probate. I’ll explain whether a trust fits your situation.

Powers of Attorney

A durable power of attorney lets someone you trust handle financial matters if you can’t.

Patient Advocate Designations

A patient advocate designation names someone to make medical decisions for you if you’re unable to make them yourself.

Probate & Estate Administration

When a loved one passes, I guide the personal representative through the probate court process: opening the estate, notifying creditors, inventorying assets, and distributing property.
