Frasco Caponigro, Wineman, Scheible, Hauser, Luttman

Estate Planning Attorneys in Troy, Michigan

Estate planning is one of several legal services provided by Frasco Caponigro Wineman Scheible Hauser & Luttmann, P.C. The firm's estate planning attorneys work with individuals, families, business owners, and fiduciaries on matters involving wealth transfer, estate administration, long-term planning, and related tax considerations.

Planning for the future often involves more than deciding who will inherit property. Families may also need to prepare for disability, the cost of long-term care, the continuation of a family business, or the responsibilities that arise after a loved one dies.

Planning for Families and Future Generations

Every estate plan reflects a different set of priorities. Some clients want to preserve family wealth across multiple generations, while others are focused on providing for a surviving spouse, protecting children from receiving an inheritance too early, or coordinating personal and business assets.

The firm's estate planning practice includes wealth-transfer planning, estate tax planning, asset protection strategies, charitable planning, and business succession planning. These services can be combined into a plan that reflects both a family's current needs and its long-term goals.

Preparing for Long-Term Care and Special Needs

Health concerns can affect both an individual's finances and the family's ability to provide care. Some clients begin planning because they anticipate future long-term care expenses, while others are caring for a loved one with a disability and want to preserve eligibility for public benefits.

The firm advises clients on elder law, Medicaid planning, long-term care planning, and special needs trusts. These services help families address circumstances that often require more than a traditional estate plan.

Guiding Fiduciaries Through Estate and Trust Administration

After a death, the administration of an estate or trust may involve collecting assets, satisfying debts, preparing tax filings, communicating with beneficiaries, and carrying out the instructions left by the deceased.

Attorneys at the firm represent executors, personal representatives, trustees, and beneficiaries during probate and trust administration. Guidance is available throughout the administration process, particularly when estates involve significant assets, tax issues, or ongoing trusts.

Resolving Probate and Trust Disputes

Not every estate is settled without disagreement. Questions sometimes arise regarding the administration of a trust, the actions of a fiduciary, or the interpretation of estate planning documents.

The firm's practice also includes probate and trust litigation, representing clients when disputes develop during the administration of an estate or trust. This allows families to continue working with the same practice whether they are planning for the future, administering an estate, or addressing contested legal issues.
