Timinsky Law

Estate Planning & Probate Attorneys in Troy, Michigan

Timinsky Law is a Troy law firm that focuses on estate planning while also advising clients on business law and real estate matters. Founded by attorney Mark-Andre Timinsky, the practice helps individuals, families, and business owners prepare legal plans that address the transfer of assets, future decision-making, and the succession of closely held businesses.

Because many estates include real estate or business interests, the firm's practice is structured to address those issues together rather than treating them as separate legal matters.

Keeping a Michigan Cottage in the Family

For many families, a cottage represents decades of memories and traditions. Without planning, however, shared ownership can lead to disagreements over maintenance costs, use of the property, or whether it should be sold after the original owners are gone.

Timinsky Law specifically prepares cottage trusts for families who want to preserve vacation property for future generations while establishing a legal structure for its ownership after death.

Planning for a Loved One With Disabilities

Leaving an inheritance to a family member with disabilities often requires additional planning. Simply transferring assets outright may not reflect the family's long-term goals.

The firm prepares special needs trusts as part of its estate planning practice, providing families with an option for managing assets on behalf of a beneficiary whose circumstances require additional protection.

Preparing for Incapacity

Estate planning is not limited to distributing property after death. A serious illness or accident can leave someone unable to make financial or medical decisions while they are still living.

Timinsky Law prepares durable financial powers of attorney and patient advocate designations so clients can choose trusted individuals to manage financial affairs and healthcare decisions if they become incapacitated.

Coordinating Estate Planning With Business Ownership

Many small business owners have much of their personal wealth invested in their company. If ownership transfers are never addressed, family members and business partners may face uncertainty when an owner retires, becomes disabled, or passes away.

The firm's business law practice includes succession planning and buy-sell agreements, allowing business owners to coordinate the future of their company with their overall estate plan.

Planning for Families With Real Estate

Real estate is often one of the most valuable assets in an estate. Whether someone owns a primary residence, investment property, or other real estate, ownership decisions can affect how property is transferred in the future.

Because Timinsky Law also handles real estate transactions, clients can address estate planning and property-related legal issues together when developing or updating an estate plan.

Choosing the Right Estate Planning Documents

Estate planning needs vary from one family to another. Some people may only need a will, while others may benefit from one or more trust arrangements depending on their assets and long-term goals.

The firm prepares wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, and related planning documents that can be tailored to each client's individual circumstances.
