Sterling Heights Estate Planning Lawyer

A major part of estate planning is the distribution of assets after ones death, but that is only one of the aspects of an effective estate plan.  A well-designed estate plan will make sure a well trusted person will be placed in charge of making financial and medical decisions on your behalf.  If you do not have an estate plan set up prior to this, someone may be able to petition the court to get control over your assets and medical care, so it's best to establish your estate plan in advanced to make sure your wishes are carried out as intended.


Some goals of an estate plan include:

-Division of assets to whom you want in the manner you want

-Ensure your children are brought up according to your wishes

-Protect your assests from creditors, lawsuits, and other threats

-Reduce taxes on  income, estate, and gifts

-Protect inheritances & more

Client Testimonials

  •  I first met Mike Rutkowski when my mom needed to update her estate plan, Will and establish a “Living Trust”. In the year that followed, Mike provided us with continuous support through challenges in Probate Court by mom’s family and subsequent revisions to mom’s estate plan and Will. Since mom’s passing, Mike has continued to give me great support as the Trustee of her estate. Recently, I chose Mike’s firm to set up my own Will and Trust. Rutkowski Law Firm and its staff have been a constant support to me at every step of the process. I would recommend Rutkowski Law Firm to any and every one for issues related to Wills, Trusts, Probate, etc. Definitely a reputable firm to trust with your life planning. I give my highest recommendation to this firm for their honesty, integrity and reliability.

    Honesty, Integrity, & Reliability

  •  After procrastinating for many years I finally decided to get my will and trust done. I expected it to be a lengthy and cumbersome process but I was pleasantly surprised! I chose Rutkowski Law Firm because I saw an ad in the local paper and they were convenient to where I lived. What I got was “white glove” treatment, a very professional and friendly staff, and most importantly, immediate response to all my questions and concerns. I worked with Michael Rutkowski and Trisha Harris—a great team! Without hesitation I would recommend them to anyone looking to get their “affairs in order”.
