Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts

Estate Planning Attorney in Southeast Michigan

A common misconception is that estate planning is only something that extremely wealthy people need to do. Not true. Estate planning is for everyone with any property, such as a house, a car, a life insurance policy, or savings and retirement accounts. It's for everyone with a family that they want to provide for. Reinheimer Law Office is here to help you determine if estate planning is for you.

Our estate planning practice is really an extension of our family law practice. For example, it makes sense to have a plan for who will take care of your kids if you are unable to do so. This may involve revising your will if you got a divorce, so that they, and not your ex-spouse, receives your assets upon your death. If you want the money to go to your children, setting up a trust can control the timing of when that occurs.

Our law firm has many years of experience that we bring to every case. We have the knowledge to make certain that all of your questions are answered. You can be confident that we will help you make the choices that are right for you.

Wills and Trusts: These are the most common estate planning tools. Through careful use, they can be used to meet the needs of almost any estate. We have the skills to use these tools to your benefit.

Other Tools: A wide range of supplementary tools exist that can be used in addition to wills and trusts. These tools are very sophisticated and can help us build an estate plan that is dedicated to meeting your needs. They include:

• Powers of Attorney
• Advance Directives
• Guardianships and Conservatorships 
  (including for those with autism or other special needs)

Personal attention is a cornerstone of our service. Before we take any steps on your behalf, we get to know you. The estate plans we offer do not come in one-size-fits-all. We believe that wouldn't benefit you in the long run. Instead, we offer customized estate plans that take your needs and your situation into account.
