A revocable living trust lets your assets move to your family without going through the court process called probate — privately, and often much faster than a will alone would allow.
Probate in Michigan can take a year or more. A properly funded trust can distribute assets in weeks.
A will becomes part of the public court record. A trust does not.
Decide when and how beneficiaries receive assets, rather than all at once.
Comprehensive planning to avoid probate and protect your family's privacy.
It depends on your situation. A will is a great starting point, but it must go through probate court — which takes time and becomes public record. A living trust avoids probate entirely. We'll talk through which makes sense for you during your free consultation.
Life changes — and your estate plan should too. My living trust package includes free amendments for the first year, and updates after that are billed at a modest flat rate.
