Life changes like marriage, divorce, growing your family, or even a name change often come with more than just emotional and logistical adjustments. They can have important legal implications too.

It is easy to assume everything will “fall into place,” but many legal and financial issues arise simply because documents weren’t updated to reflect a new reality. Taking a little time to review your legal plan can help prevent unnecessary stress, delays, or unintended outcomes down the road.

Swipe for a few key areas worth revisiting after a major life change.

If you have experienced a recent life change or simply have not revisited your legal documents in a while, our team would be happy to help you identify what may need attention and walk you through your options. Give us a call today, and we can get started.

Deciding who will raise your kids is a question most parents answer once, at the attorney's office when signing their will, and then never revisit.

What I see happen is the named guardian moves to another state, or the relationship changes, or they're simply no longer the right fit. The nomination is still in the document. Nobody updated it. In many cases, a nominated guardian who cannot or does not formally accept the appointment loses their statutory priority, at which point Genesee County Probate Court may open a proceeding and any interested person may petition.

A guardian named in a Michigan will carries the highest legal priority the court recognizes. That only holds if the person named is still the right person and still willing to say yes.

Before that decision lands in front of a judge, call us: 810-232-1112.

The dog days of summer are here, and we are just stopping by to say hello!

Cue the fireworks, fire up the grill, and get ready for what might be the most ambitious birthday cake of all time. 🎂

America turns 250 this year, which means 250 candles on the cake … so someone should probably alert the fire department.

However you’re celebrating the Fourth of July, we hope it’s filled with great food, good company, and a sky full of fireworks.

Our office will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of the holiday. We’ll be back and ready to help on Monday. Wishing you a safe and happy Fourth!
