Estate Planning and Probate Matters

Livonia Estate Planning Lawyer

Estate planning allows you to experience the comfort that comes from knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of, both in the unfortunate event of your incapacity and after you are gone. With the help of an experienced estate planning lawyer, you can prepare to pass on any wealth to, as well as ease the burden of, future generations in your family.

Estate Planning

I'm Livonia estate planning attorney Mary Ann Arsenault, skilled in all matters of probate and estate administration and ready to assist you. Contact me for a free phone consultation to discuss your legal needs involving:

  • Wills
  • Trusts
  • Powers of Attorney
  • Healthcare Powers of Attorney
  • Healthcare Proxies, Advance Medical Directives, Living Wills
  • Deeds (transfer of property into a trust)

I will listen as you share with me your personal goals and wishes as to providing for the care of your children or leaving money for your loved ones.

Probate

Through the probate process, property is legally transferred to beneficiaries from a decedent's estate. By putting your house and other property into a trust now, upon your passing, your family may be able to avoid probate court and minimize taxes. I also help clients negotiate the probate process by helping with the probate of a will, preparing inventories and accountings, transferring real property, and working with creditors. In addition, I can help with any dispute or will contest that arises throughout the process.

In my more than 25 years of experience as a probate attorney, I have been appointed by the court  to review guardianships and conservatorships to make reports and recommendations for incapacitated adults regarding their personal and financial affairs. I can help you with your own guardian and conservator needs when they arise.

Contact me for knowledgeable, compassionate legal assistance regarding matters of estate planning and probate matters, as well as divorce or bankruptcy
