The Southfield, Michigan estate planning attorneys of the law firm of Landis & Day, PLC, have a message to southeastern Michiganians: be sure to take time to plan for your future and those of your family and business through smart estate and business succession planning. We urge you not to wait until you are middle-aged to begin. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your goals, your options, and how we can help, contact us through this Web site.

Adults of any age who own property, are married, are involved in business partnerships, or have children owe it to their future survivors to tend to estate planning with care and thought. In fact, we use the term “life planning” more often than “estate planning” because of the effects that career changes, divorce, remarriage, and other life changes can have on the crafting of the most appropriate estate planning tools.

Our Southfield, Michigan estate planning attorneys are prepared to guide you efficiently and thoughtfully as you establish personalized testamentary documents such as the following:

• simple wills
• complex estate planning
• special estate plans with an awareness of tax implications
• culturally appropriate wills and estate plans for Muslims and other ethnic groups
• trusts
• powers of attorney
• advance medical directives (“living wills”)
• plans for guardianships for minor children or vulnerable adults

Although documents such as power of attorney forms are widely available on the Internet and in the popular press, we urge you to consult with a local, knowledgeable estate planning lawyer. The Southfield, Michigan estate planning attorneys of Landis & Day, PLC, are familiar with Michigan laws pertaining to wills and estate planning, and will take the time to discern with you what will be the best way to communicate your final wishes and to ensure that they are carried out.

As experienced Michigan business lawyers, we understand many of our clients’ business succession concerns and their desire to maximize estate remainders. We handle a full range of wills and estate planning, including basic “mom and pop” estate plans, business tax consulting in connection with business succession plans, designation of trusts, and provisions for guardianship of minor children in wills.
