The Problem with a Will Alone
Most Michigan residents believe a will is enough. It isn't. Here's what your family faces without a trust:
A will goes through probate — it doesn't avoid it
A trust transfers your assets immediately, with zero court involvement
Wills are public record — anyone can see what you owned
A trust keeps your entire estate private. Only your family knows.
If you're incapacitated, a will can't help — it only works after death
A trust lets your successor trustee manage everything without court (MCL 700.7302)
Michigan's elective share (MCL 700.2202) applies to probate assets
Trust assets are NOT subject to the elective share — better protection for your beneficiaries

What You Get
Six documents and guides, written by a licensed Michigan estate planning attorney. Not a generic national template — built specifically for Michigan law (MCL 700.7101 et seq.).
Fully editable attorney-drafted trust document designed for Michigan residents under EPIC. Covers trustees, succession, incapacity, distributions, and amendment procedures.
Article-by-article walkthrough of your trust document. Plain English explanations of every provision — no legal background required.
Step-by-step signing, notarization, and storage instructions. Covers Michigan's requirements and why notarization is strongly recommended even though not legally required.
A summary document per MCL 700.7913 that you show to banks, title companies, and financial institutions — without revealing the full contents of your trust. Required for trust administration.
THE most important piece — how to actually transfer your home, bank accounts, investments, and other assets into the trust. An unfunded trust protects nothing. This guide makes funding straightforward.
Understand how a pour-over will works alongside your trust to capture any assets left outside the trust at death and funnel them in — a critical companion document for any trust plan.

The Most Overlooked Step
"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.

How It Works
Most people complete their trust in one afternoon — no lawyer, no office visit, no $5,000 bill.
Your Trust Kit downloads instantly: the Revocable Living Trust template (Word doc), a detailed instruction guide, and an execution guide covering Michigan notarization and funding requirements.
The instruction guide walks you through every article. Name your trustee and successor trustee, list your beneficiaries, set distribution conditions (staggered at ages 25 and 30, or all at once). Fill in the blanks.
Sign before a notary (most UPS Stores do this for $5-$15). Then transfer your assets into the trust — your home, bank accounts, investments. The funding guide walks you through each transfer step by step. Once funded, your estate skips probate entirely.
