Probate and Estate Law relates directly to a large majority of personal injury cases because, unfortunately, when you’re seriously injured, you may lose certain abilities. Depending on the injury, you could become physically unable to do certain things or even mentally or cognitively unable to perform certain tasks. Consequently, you might lose your legal capacity to do what you used to do. In the worst-case scenario, you could be fatally wounded or killed, necessitating the opening of an estate to assist your family in bringing a cause of action for the person who passed away.

If you survive but are legally incapacitated, you may need a conservator to manage your finances. As the person injured who recovers some type of monetary damage claim outside and apart from personal injury, you may even need a conservator to manage your money.

In addition to personal injury work, my law firm has an entire section dedicated to probate law, providing probate-related legal services. We assist individuals in establishing guardianships for those who become legally incapacitated, conservatorships for disabled individuals with assets, and administer deceased estates when individuals pass away. My law firm covers the full spectrum of probate-related services, including probate estates, guardianships, conservatorships, deceased estates, and estate planning. We have been providing these services for just as long as we’ve been handling personal injury work in the state of Michigan.
