Estate planning for Michigan families that is Clear, complete, and built around your life
Most people know they should have a will. Fewer realize that a well-designed estate plan, one that includes a trust, updated beneficiary designations, and the right powers of attorney, can save their family real difficulty down the road.
At Leonard Law, estate planning is straightforward and personal. You work directly with Taylor, and you leave with documents that actually reflect your life and your wishes. Leonard Law focuses on foundational estate planning for families who need clear, well-drafted documents without unnecessary complexity or cost.
Wills, Trusts, and other estate Planning Tools
Wills and revocable trusts
A will is the foundation. Adding a revocable trust is often the smarter structure, because it keeps your estate out of probate, makes distribution faster and more private, and gives you more control over how and when your assets pass. Taylor believes most families are better served by a trust-based plan, and she’ll help you understand whether that’s true for yours.
Power of attorney and patient advocate designation
A financial power of attorney lets someone you trust manage your finances if you’re unable to. A patient advocate designation does the same for healthcare decisions. It is important for every adult to have these documents, not just older clients.
beneficiary review and estate plan updates
Life changes happen - marriage, new children, divorce, deaths in the family - and your estate plan needs to keep up. A periodic review of your retirement accounts, life insurance, and other assets to make sure beneficiary designations align with your overall plan is an important check-in.
