At Woods Law Office, we counsel clients on planning for the elder years, which is known as life planning. Many of our clients will have an increased need for medical, nursing, or attendant care services in the immediate future, for either themselves, a spouse, or a parent. We also have clients that plan for the future and want to put in place a strategy that will outline their financial stability and legal authorizations so that their wishes will be prominent. Many of our new clients are surprised to learn that their existing estate plans are limited to the avoidance of Michigan probate and may only hinder their needs and wishes for life planning. Others unknowingly possess inadequate or often voided Designation of Patient Advocates or Power of Attorneys.
