Great Lakes Wills & Estate

Your Michigan will, written from your answers and approved by a Michigan attorney.

Answer about twenty minutes of plain-language questions. A licensed Michigan attorney reviews every answer, calls you if anything needs a conversation, and approves your documents before you sign.

Drafted under the Estates and Protected Individuals Code and the Uniform Power of Attorney Act. No subscription.

How it works

  1. Answer the questions

    Family, what you own, who inherits, and who you trust to act for you. Save and come back anytime.

  2. Pay one flat fee

    You see the price before you check out. If the attorney can’t take your plan, you get a full refund.

  3. Attorney review

    A Michigan attorney checks for conflicts, reviews every answer, and contacts you about anything that needs judgment.

  4. Sign with witnesses

    Download your approved documents with step-by-step signing instructions for your witnesses and notary.

A good fit if you

  • Live in Michigan and plan to stay
  • Want to leave things to a spouse, children, relatives, or charities
  • Need to name a guardian for young children
  • Want someone you trust to handle money and medical decisions if you can’t

Better with a consultation

  • Estates near the federal estate tax exemption
  • A beneficiary on SSI or Medicaid
  • Nursing-home or Medicaid planning
  • A living trust, business succession, or property in another state

The questionnaire spots these and offers a consultation instead of charging you for a plan that won’t fit.
