Trust-Based Plan
Gain control and privacy while avoiding probate. With a trust-based plan, you can:

• Distribute gifts immediately or hold them in trust with conditions, like reaching certain ages.
• Use staggered distributions to protect beneficiaries from poor financial decisions, fostering growth.
• Include a pour-over will to nominate guardians for minor children and transfer remaining assets into the trust.

Will-Based Plan
A straightforward option that ensures your wishes are met through probate. This plan:

• Specifies asset distribution to your chosen beneficiaries.
• Nominates guardians for minor children.
• Utilizes Michigan’s probate courts to efficiently meet your goals.

Plan Without a Trust or Will
Avoid probate without complexity. Using a financial power of attorney, a comprehensive patient advocate designation, beneficiary designations and a Lady Bird deed, this plan:

• Avoids guardianship and conservatorship proceedings.
• Transfers assets directly to beneficiaries upon death.
• Allows you to maintain full control during your lifetime.

Powers of Attorney
Essential for avoiding guardianship or conservatorship probate if incapacitated, ensuring:

• Prompt handling of critical matters by trusted decision-makers.
• Protection of your interests with minimal disruption.
