Why Michigan Families Choose Law Mother
Most Michigan estate planning attorneys offer a quick consultation and generic documents. We don't work that way. We start with a Life & Legacy Planning® Session to understand your family, your values, and your goals. Then we create a customized plan that keeps your family out of probate court and out of conflict.
And we don't disappear after you sign documents. Life changes, and your estate plan should change with it. As your family's lawyer for life, we're here for marriages, births, moves, divorces, and every major life event in between.

Estate Planning Services We Provide to Michigan Families
- Wills and Trusts Most Michigan families need more than a basic will. We help you determine whether a revocable living trust is right for your situation and create documents that avoid probate, protect your privacy, and ensure your wishes are honored.

We create comprehensive Kids Protection Plans that ensure your children are cared for by the right people, with immediate access to funds, and protection from court interference.

Common Estate Planning Questions From Michigan Families
Yes. Estate planning isn't just about wealth. If you have minor children, own a home, have retirement accounts, or care about who makes medical decisions for you, you need a plan.
A will goes through probate, which is a public court process that can take months and cost your family thousands of dollars. A revocable living trust lets you transfer assets privately, without court involvement, and gives you more control over how and when your beneficiaries receive their inheritance. Most Michigan families benefit from having both.
The cost depends on your family's situation and the complexity of your plan. We offer flat-fee pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we begin. Schedule a complimentary 15-minute call to learn more about pricing for your specific needs.
You can meet with us virtually from anywhere in Michigan. But estate planning requires more than filling out forms online. We work with you to understand your family, your goals, and your concerns, then create a customized plan that reflects your actual life.
We recommend reviewing your plan every three to five years, or after any major life event like a marriage, divorce, birth of a child, move to a new state, or significant change in your finances. As your family's lawyer for life, we make updates easy.
Michigan's intestacy laws decide how your assets are distributed and who raises your minor children. The probate process can take months, cost your family thousands, and the outcome may not reflect your wishes. An estate plan puts you in control.
