No estate plan? Here's what that actually means.

A Power of Attorney is a critical part of any estate plan. It allows you to legally designate someone you trust to make financial, legal, or medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so.

We help clients put these protections in place so their affairs are handled according to their wishes and to help avoid unnecessary court involvement down the road.

David Waterstradt has helped Muskegon-area families put the right protections in place for over 30 years.
