Farmington Hills Estate Planning Attorney
Planning for your family's future shouldn't feel intimidating or out of reach. At Meyers Estate Solutions, PLLC, we help Farmington Hills families put clear, legally sound plans in place: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and the documents that protect the people you love. We're a local Oakland County firm built on the belief that law is a service profession, and that thoughtful estate planning should be available to everyone, not just the wealthy.
Estate planning, done right here in Oakland County
Whether you're creating your first will, setting up a trust to protect your home, or making sure someone you trust can make decisions if you can't, we'll walk you through it in plain language. Our Farmington Hills practice focuses on:
- Wills — making sure your wishes are honored and your estate avoids Michigan's intestate succession rules, which decide who inherits when there's no valid will.
- Trusts — revocable living trusts and specialized trusts to manage assets, protect a family home, plan for a loved one with special needs, and help your family avoid probate.
- Powers of attorney & advance directives — naming who handles your finances and healthcare decisions if you become unable to.
- Probate & estate administration — guiding executors and families through the Oakland County Probate Court process after a loss.
Why work with a local Farmington Hills firm?
Estate planning is governed by Michigan's Estate and Protected Individuals Code (EPIC), and the details matter — how a will is executed, how a trust is funded, how an estate moves through Oakland County Probate Court. Working with a local attorney means working with someone who knows the Michigan rules and the local court, and who you can actually reach.
We serve clients throughout Oakland County, including Farmington Hills, Farmington, West Bloomfield, Novi, Southfield, Bloomfield Hills, and surrounding communities.
A different kind of law firm
Founded in 2024 by Alex Meyers, Meyers Estate Solutions was built to serve families who are too often underserved: older adults, first-time planners, and anyone who's felt that good legal help was out of reach. Initial consultations are free, 15–30 minutes, by phone or Zoom, with no pressure and no jargon.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an estate plan if I don't have a lot of assets?
Yes. An estate plan isn't only about wealth, it's about who makes decisions for you, who cares for your children, and who avoids unnecessary court involvement after you're gone. Without a will, Michigan law decides who inherits.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will directs how your assets are distributed and takes effect through probate. A trust can hold and manage assets during your life and after, often allowing your family to avoid probate. We'll help you decide what fits your situation.
What happens if I die without a will in Michigan?
Your estate is distributed under Michigan's intestate succession rules, which may not match your wishes. A valid will puts you in control.
How much does it cost to get started?
Your initial consultation is free. We'll explain your options and pricing clearly before any work begins.
