Lollo Legacy Law

Estate Planning Attorneys in Plymouth, Michigan

Estate planning is often postponed because it feels like something that can wait. For parents of young children, however, waiting can leave important questions unanswered. Who would care for the children if both parents were suddenly unavailable? Who would have legal authority to make decisions until a permanent guardian could be appointed? Lollo Legacy Law focuses on helping families answer these questions before an emergency occurs while also preparing the legal documents needed to protect their wishes.

The firm's practice is dedicated to estate planning, with an emphasis on creating plans that reflect each family's circumstances rather than relying on generic documents.

Planning for Minor Children

For many parents, one of the most important parts of an estate plan has little to do with money. Naming trusted guardians and leaving clear instructions for the care of minor children can provide guidance during an already difficult time.

Lollo Legacy Law offers estate planning that includes a Kids Protection Plan, helping parents document decisions about who should care for their children if they are temporarily or permanently unable to do so.

Making Sure a Trust Can Do Its Job

Creating a trust is only one step in the estate planning process. If assets remain titled in an individual's name instead of the trust, the plan may not work as intended.

Lollo Legacy Law assists clients with trust funding by helping ensure that appropriate assets are transferred into the trust. Reviewing ownership after the trust is created can help avoid problems that might otherwise arise later.

Preparing for Incapacity

Estate planning also addresses situations that occur during a person's lifetime. Illness or injury may leave someone temporarily or permanently unable to manage finances or make personal decisions.

Preparing powers of attorney allows clients to designate trusted individuals to act on their behalf if those circumstances arise, providing legal authority before an emergency develops.

Including Pets in an Estate Plan

For many households, pets are members of the family. Estate planning provides an opportunity to decide who will care for them and how their ongoing needs may be provided for if an owner dies or becomes unable to do so.

Lollo Legacy Law includes pet trusts as part of its estate planning services for clients who wish to make formal arrangements for the future care of their animals.

Reviewing a Plan as Life Changes

An estate plan should be reviewed periodically as families grow and circumstances change. The birth of another child, changes in financial circumstances, or other significant life events may all affect whether existing documents continue to reflect a client's wishes.

Lollo Legacy Law encourages clients to revisit their estate plans over time so that important documents remain consistent with their current family situation.
