Our attorneys, Jessica Kelly and Jeremy Glick, are dedicated to guiding individuals and families through life's legal challenges with compassion, clarity, and care. Estate planning, whether it's a simple will, a revocable living trust, or planning for your family's unique situation, shouldn't be overwhelming. Working with Maple Law Group is a partnership: you know your family and your goals while our attorneys know the law and which documents are best to meet your goals.

 

We take a comprehensive approach by evaluating your financial picture, identifying potential tax implications, and aligning your plan with Michigan state law. If you have minor children, estate planning can include naming guardians, while business owners can create succession plans. For individuals with complex assets or blended families, trusts offer enhanced control and flexibility.

 

Though estate planning is primarily preventative, litigation can arise if a plan is contested after death. Challenges may include accusations of undue influence, improper execution, or questions about a testator’s capacity. If disputes occur, the litigation process involves filing a petition in probate court, discovery, mediation, and, if necessary, a trial. Our attorneys work closely with clients to minimize the risk of litigation through clear drafting and sound legal strategy, and we’re prepared to defend your estate plan if needed.
