A Will Alone Won't Protect Your Family

Most Michigan residents believe a will is enough. It isn't. Here's what your family faces without a trust:

The Problem

A will goes through probate — it doesn't avoid it

With a Trust

A trust transfers your assets immediately, with zero court involvement

Michigan probate takes 6–12 months and costs $5,000–$47,000 in fees
The Problem

Wills are public record — anyone can see what you owned

With a Trust

A trust keeps your entire estate private. Only your family knows.

Probate records are searchable online — creditors, estranged relatives, and strangers can view your will
The Problem

If you're incapacitated, a will can't help — it only works after death

With a Trust

A trust lets your successor trustee manage everything without court (MCL 700.7302)

Without a trust, your family may need an expensive court-supervised conservatorship
The Problem

Michigan's elective share (MCL 700.2202) applies to probate assets

With a Trust

Trust assets are NOT subject to the elective share — better protection for your beneficiaries

Proper trust planning can limit a surviving spouse's forced claim on your estate

A Trust Only Works If It's Funded

"Most people create a trust and never transfer their assets into it. An unfunded trust is worthless — your estate still goes through probate. Our kit includes a complete funding guide so your trust actually works."

The Trust Funding Guide covers every major asset class Michigan residents typically hold:

Michigan Trust Code (MCL 700.7101 et seq.) governs trust creation and administration. The Certificate of Trust (MCL 700.7913) authorizes trustees to act without disclosing the full trust instrument to third parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a trust or just a will?
If you own real estate in Michigan, you likely need a trust to avoid probate. A will guarantees your estate goes through the Michigan probate process — which takes 6–12 months and can cost thousands in court and attorney fees. A revocable living trust lets your successor trustee distribute your assets immediately after your death, bypassing probate entirely. If your only goal is to name a guardian for minor children or specify personal property bequests, a will may be sufficient. But for real property owners, a trust is almost always the better tool.
Is a trust legally valid without a notary in Michigan?
Yes — Michigan law does not require notarization to create a valid revocable living trust under MCL 700.7402. However, notarization is strongly recommended. Banks, title companies, and the Register of Deeds are far more likely to accept and process trust-related transactions without question when the trust instrument and Certificate of Trust are notarized. Our execution guide explains exactly how and where to have your trust notarized.
What's a Certificate of Trust and why do I need it?
A Certificate of Trust is a summary document authorized by MCL 700.7913 that proves the existence and key terms of your trust to third parties — without revealing the full trust contents. When you go to retitle your bank accounts, real estate, or investment accounts in the trust's name, institutions will ask for proof of the trust. You show them the Certificate of Trust instead of your full trust instrument, which keeps the details of your estate private. Our kit includes a fully prepared Certificate of Trust template.
Can I change my trust later?
Yes — this is a revocable living trust, meaning you retain full control during your lifetime. You can amend specific provisions or revoke the trust entirely at any time per MCL 700.7602. Since you'll have the DOCX template, making amendments is straightforward. Common reasons to update a trust include new assets, changed beneficiaries, marriage, divorce, or the death of a named trustee or beneficiary.
What's your refund policy?
We offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee — no questions asked. If you're not completely satisfied with the Trust Kit for any reason within 30 days of purchase, contact us and we'll issue a complete refund. We stand fully behind the quality and completeness of this kit.
