Estate Planning - Wills, Trusts, Estates

Protect Your Wealth Through Estate Planning

When you've worked hard to build your estate, you want to be certain you've taken the right steps to protect your assets. 

At Sevick Law PLLC, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we build custom wills and estate plans uniquely designed to meet the needs of our clients. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation or download and complete one of our estate planning questionnaires.  

Dealing with the loss of health or death of a loved one can be difficult enough without having to worry about the distribution of their assets. By putting a comprehensive estate plan in place, you eliminate much of the stress that accompanies the distribution of assets and the decision process. At Sevick Law PLLC, we will construct an estate plan that ensures that your assets are divided according to your wishes and that minimizes the tax burden on your estate.

There are a variety of ways to set up an estate plan. You need a knowledgeable attorney to guide you through the options, including decisions about:

  • Simple and complex wills
  • Powers of attorney
  • Revocable and irrevocable trusts
  • HIPAA releases and authorizations
  • Healthcare directives to physicians and families
  • Implementation of various estate tax and asset protection strategies
  • Planning for second marriages and non joint children
  • Planning for special needs children
 

To help you prepare for your first meeting with us, we have developed a questionnaire. Please fill this out and bring it with you to our first meeting. Upon contacting us to schedule this initial consultation, we will inform you of any additional documents you need to bring so that we may assist you effectively.

What does it mean if an estate plan ends up in probate?

The probate process ensures the orderly distribution of an estate, under the direction of the probate court. While the goal is often to avoid probate, there are situations where the probate process is the best way to make certain that the estate is divided according to the decedent's wishes. At Sevick Law PLLC, we handle all matters related to probate administration, including providing an accounting of assets, obtaining asset valuations (when necessary), and responding to will contests.
