Families may be surprised to learn that a valid will does not automatically transfer everything after someone passes away. Sometimes, probate administration may still be required before assets can be properly distributed.

Probate administration is the court-supervised process that helps:

🔹Verify the validity of a will.

🔹Identify heirs and beneficiaries.

🔹Gather and inventory estate assets.

🔹Notify creditors and review claims.

🔹Distribute property according to the will or state law when there is no will.

Probate is more than paperwork. It is an important legal process designed to ensure that assets are transferred correctly and that outstanding obligations are properly addressed before distribution occurs.

Trying to navigate probate without legal guidance can lead to delays, mistakes, and unnecessary stress during an already difficult time. Contact our firm for guidance through probate administration or probate litigation.

In reality, estate planning is an ongoing process that should evolve as your life, family, finances, and goals change. Swipe through to learn more.

A power of attorney is one of those documents you hope you never need—but you will be glad to have if life takes an unexpected turn.

A health event, travel disruption, or family emergency can make it difficult to handle financial or legal decisions when time matters most. Completing a power of attorney in advance allows someone you trust to act on your behalf if needed.

The good news: planning ahead does not have to be complicated. It is also a good time to review your existing estate planning documents to make sure they still reflect your wishes, relationships, and current circumstances.

Our team at Kendal Law Group PC helps families throughout Bloomfield Hills and Oakland County create practical, personalized estate plans. Reach out to schedule an estate planning review.

When was the last time you reviewed your estate plan? If your answer is “it has been a while,” you are not alone. Many people assume their estate plan is complete once it is signed, but in reality, it should be revisited over time to ensure it continues to reflect your wishes.

Here are a few key things to keep in mind:

🔹Regular Reviews Matter - It is often recommended that you review your estate plan every three to five years to keep it aligned with your current circumstances.

🔹Life Change Updates - Events like marriage, divorce, or welcoming a child should prompt a timely review, ideally within 60 to 90 days after the event.

🔹Know the Common Triggers - The “5 Ds” (death, disability, divorce, distance, and descendants) are considered the most common triggers for a review.

An estate plan should grow and change with you. If it has been a few years since your last review, our team is here to help. Contact us today to get started.

Americans are living longer, and that shift is reshaping how we think about estate planning. Recent data shows life expectancy in the U.S. has climbed to nearly 79 years, continuing an upward trend after recent declines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This means individuals and families must prepare for longer retirements, extended care needs, and more complex planning decisions over time. Swipe through to learn more.

If your current plan does not reflect these realities, or if it has been some time since your last review, now is the time to revisit it. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you plan for the future with confidence.
