Aiello & Associates

Estate Planning, Probate & Guardianship Attorneys in Warren, Michigan

Aiello & Associates is a Warren law firm that assists individuals and families with estate planning, probate administration, probate litigation, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, and related real estate matters. The firm also maintains a broader legal practice that includes family law, bankruptcy, criminal defense, personal injury, and business law.

A distinguishing aspect of the practice is its willingness to represent clients when estate matters become contested. In addition to preparing estate plans and handling probate administration, the firm represents families involved in inheritance disputes, allegations of undue influence, and disagreements over estate property.

Creating Estate Plans for Families

Estate planning allows individuals to determine who will inherit their assets, who will make financial and medical decisions if they become incapacitated, and who will carry out their wishes after death.

Aiello & Associates prepares wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, and other estate planning documents designed to help families prepare for the future.

Guiding Families Through Probate

After the death of a loved one, the personal representative must often gather assets, address creditor claims, distribute property, and complete the legal requirements of Michigan probate.

The firm assists executors and families throughout the probate process, helping administer estates while working through the responsibilities required by the probate court.

Representing Clients in Probate Disputes

Not every estate is settled without disagreement. Questions may arise about the validity of a will, ownership of property, joint bank accounts, or whether someone improperly influenced the person who created an estate plan.

Aiello & Associates represents clients in contested probate matters involving will and trust disputes, allegations of undue influence or fraud, disagreements over personal property, estate debts, and assets that may have been transferred improperly before death.

Planning for Adults Who Need Ongoing Protection

Some families must plan not only for the transfer of assets but also for the continued care of a loved one who cannot manage personal or financial affairs independently.

The firm assists families seeking guardianships and conservatorships for incapacitated adults and discusses planning for disabled adult children who may require long-term financial oversight after their parents are gone.

Protecting Minor Children

Parents often want to ensure that trusted individuals will care for their children if something unexpected happens.

Aiello & Associates helps clients prepare estate plans that nominate guardians for minor children while also addressing the legal management of a child's inherited assets when appropriate.

Using Trusts to Plan for Incapacity and Probate Avoidance

A properly funded trust can help ensure that assets continue to be managed if someone becomes incapacitated while also reducing the need for probate after death.

The firm prepares revocable and irrevocable trusts and advises clients on using successor trustees to provide continuity in managing family assets.

Estate Matters That Involve Property or Other Legal Issues

Probate cases sometimes involve more than distributing assets. Real estate ownership questions, financial difficulties, or family disputes can complicate the administration of an estate.

Because the firm also practices in real estate, family law, and bankruptcy, it can assist clients whose estate-related legal issues overlap with those areas of law.
