Would you be willing to do anything to help your loved ones in a time of need? If so, one of the most helpful things you can do for them is to prepare for what may happen to you in the future. If you were to become injured, ill, or die, your loved ones would be under considerable stress. You can relieve some of that stress if you have your affairs planned in advance and com¬municate these plans to your family and friends.

This booklet does not take the place of talking with an attorney, and it should not be considered legal advice.

The purpose of this website is to help you do some planning for the eventualities we all face: aging and death. At the Legal Hotline for Michigan Seniors, a program of Elder Law of Michigan, Inc., we have always believed that “Knowledge is Power.” The more information we can give to callers, the more guidance we can give them to find information on their own, the more likely it is they will make sound decisions about legal matters or questions.

Hopefully, this website will answer some questions for you, but if not, or if it has raised more questions, then by all means call the Legal Hotline for Michigan Seniors and schedule an appointment to speak with one of our lawyers. In situations where it is necessary to have a legal docu¬ment prepared, or where the matter is compli¬cated or concerns substantial assets and funds, there is no substitute for consulting with a competent attorney in your community.
