Estate Planning

At Guardian Legal PLC, we guide Mid-Michigan families and individuals through every step of planning for the future, preserving your legacy, and giving you peace of mind.

  • Wills
    A properly drafted will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. We help you designate beneficiaries and specify how you’d like your assets distributed—so your wishes are carried out exactly as intended.
  • Trusts
    Whether you need a living trust to avoid probate, a special needs trust, or a more advanced solution, we’ll explain how trusts work and tailor one to your family’s needs. Trusts can protect assets, provide flexibility, and streamline administration for your loved ones.
  • Powers of Attorney
    Financial Power of Attorney
    Appoint someone you trust to manage your finances if you become unable to do so yourself. We’ll ensure the document grants the appropriate authority while including any safeguards you require.
    Medical (Health Care) Power of Attorney
    Name a health care agent to make medical decisions on your behalf. We’ll walk you through Michigan’s Health Care Consent Act requirements so your health care wishes are honored.
  • Ladybird Deeds
    Also known as enhanced life estate deeds, Ladybird deeds allow you to retain control over your real property during your lifetime while ensuring it transfers seamlessly to your heirs—avoiding probate and offering significant Medicaid planning benefits.
  • Probated Estates
    When a loved one passes away without a full estate plan or when probate is required, we provide compassionate, step-by-step guidance. Probate can be complex and emotional—our team handles the legal process, simplifies the paperwork, and keeps you informed, so you have space to grieve and remember.
