Which bank(s) did your loved one utilize? Once you learn which banks they used, you will want to transfer the assets where their documents deem it should go and close out the accounts.

Who Should You Trust in Your Michigan Estate Plan?

Your Estate Plan is more than a collection of legal documents. It also names the people you trust to step in and make important decisions when you cannot.

Depending on your Estate Plan, that may include a Successor Trustee, an Agent under your Financial Power of Attorney, a Patient Advocate under your Healthcare Power of Attorney, or a Guardian for your minor children.

These positions come with real responsibility, and choosing the right people deserves careful consideration.

Whether Estate Planning is still on your to-do list or you already have a plan, take some time to think about this question: Are the people named in your documents still the people you trust to act on your behalf today?

Does my Living Trust provide asset protection from my creditors?
No. You are the beneficiary of your Living Trust and retain control over any assets that you fund into your Living Trust.

These assets are still available to your creditors during your lifetime. This makes a Living Trust useful for Estate Planning and probate avoidance, but it does not shield your assets from your existing creditors.

Find out more about asset protection in our latest blog, https://cornerstonelegalpllc.com/asset-protection-basics-what-estate-planning-can-and-cannot-do/

One of the greatest gifts you can leave your family isn't measured in dollars. It's clarity. When your Estate Plan and beneficiary designations all work together, your loved ones are less likely to face confusion, delays, or difficult decisions during an already emotional time. Estate Planning isn't only about protecting your assets - it's about protecting the people you love.

If it's been a few years since you've reviewed your Estate Plan, we'd love to help make sure everything is still working exactly as you intended.

Read our latest blog to learn the common mistakes to avoid and how to keep your Estate Plan working the way you intended. https://cornerstonelegalpllc.com/common-beneficiary-designation-mistakes-that-can-undo-your-entire-estate-plan/
