At Mannor Law Group, we know estate planning is about more than just assets. It’s about protecting your family, your home, and the life you’ve worked hard to build. Our Grand Blanc attorneys take the time to understand your goals and concerns, crafting a plan that provides peace of mind for the future. We guide you through the process with care, ensuring your plan reflects your wishes. Life is unpredictable, but with the right planning, you can be sure your loved ones will be taken care of no matter what comes next.

Why Estate Planning Matters More Than You Think

If you don’t have an estate plan, the state decides everything for you. It determines who controls your finances, who makes medical decisions, and where your assets go. This can leave your family overwhelmed and powerless. At Mannor Law Group, we make sure your wishes are legally protected. We handle estate planning under Michigan law and also focus on elder law to provide security as you age.

Estate planning helps you take charge of your future and protect your loved ones. It keeps your financial and medical affairs private, ensuring they aren’t tied up in public legal proceedings. It allows you to choose who will make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. It also ensures your assets are distributed as you intended, without delays or disputes. A well-prepared estate plan can even help safeguard your savings from the high costs of long-term care. Most importantly, it gives you peace of mind, knowing your family won’t be left in a difficult situation.

FAQs by Ann Arbor Clients

What does estate planning involve, and how do I know if I need it?

Estate planning allows you to decide how your assets are distributed, who will care for your minor children, and who will make financial or medical decisions on your behalf if you can’t. Without a plan, state law determines these matters, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes.

Which legal documents are crucial for protecting my estate and wishes?

To fully protect your assets and ensure your wishes are followed, an estate plan should include a will, a trust to bypass probate, a financial power of attorney, a healthcare power of attorney, and beneficiary designations for financial accounts.

What’s the first thing I should do to set up an estate plan?

Getting started with estate planning involves gathering information about your property, accounts, and debts. Next, determine who should make decisions for you in case of incapacity. Finally, meet with an attorney to draft a legally sound estate plan.
