Trusts in Michigan

Trusts can be valuable tools for managing and distributing assets, avoiding probate, and providing for family members. Michigan's trust laws provide flexibility in how trusts can be structured and administered. Our attorneys can help you determine whether a trust is appropriate for your situation and assist with creating and funding the trust.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Without a proper estate plan, Michigan's intestacy laws will determine how your assets are distributed, a court may appoint a guardian for your minor children, and your estate may go through a potentially lengthy and costly probate process. Taking the time to create an estate plan now can prevent these outcomes and ensure your wishes are respected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Do I need a will in Michigan?+
Yes. Without a valid will, Michigan's intestacy laws determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. A will ensures your assets go to the people and causes you choose.
What is the difference between a will and a trust in Michigan?+
A will takes effect after death and goes through probate. A trust can take effect during your lifetime, avoids probate, and provides more control over how and when assets are distributed. Many people benefit from having both.
How often should I update my estate plan?+
Review your estate plan after major life events such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, significant asset changes, or moves to a new state. At minimum, review every three to five years.
