Services
Estate Planning
Traditional estate planning ensures control over assets during life and distribution after death. We create wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to minimize probate, protect dependents, and implement medical directives. Our plans address guardianship, asset distribution, and incapacity planning for comprehensive protection.
Asset Protection
Asset protection planning shields resources from creditors, lawsuits, and long-term care costs. Using irrevocable trusts and strategic tools, we help clients preserve wealth while maintaining necessary access. This service addresses risks from nursing home expenses, legal disputes, and Medicaid spend-down requirements for sustained financial security.
Medicaid Planning
Medicaid planning preserves assets while qualifying for nursing home coverage. We implement strategies to protect 65-100% of savings through pre-planning or crisis intervention. Our expertise navigates Michigan's Medicaid requirements, ensuring compliance while safeguarding retirement funds against unexpected healthcare costs.
Business Succession
Business succession planning ensures smooth ownership transfers and asset protection. We establish trusts to direct business interests, shield assets from personal creditors, and create contingency plans. This service addresses leadership transitions, tax implications, and operational continuity for sustained enterprise value.
Special Needs Planning
Special needs planning protects individuals with disabilities from losing government benefits. We create tailored trusts and legal frameworks to manage assets without compromising eligibility. This service ensures ongoing care access while maintaining financial security for dependents with long-term needs.
