Probate Lawyer Lake Orion, MI

When a loved one passes away, there’s grief, and in the midst of that grief there are decisions that must be made. Managing a person’s estate after death is rarely simple, and for many families in Lake Orion, the legal side of loss can feel like a second wave of stress.

At Gudeman & Associates, P.C., we work with individuals and families who need a Lake Orion, MI probate lawyer. We manage the probate process with care, professionalism, and empathy. Whether your loved one has an established will or passed with none, probate may be required to settle debts, transfer assets, and distribute property. But it’s more than just paperwork, it’s a process that can surface complicated questions, family disagreements, and sometimes unexpected legal issues.

Maybe you’re the named executor and aren’t sure where to begin. Perhaps you’re a beneficiary who has questions about the estate. Or maybe there are conflicts among family members that need to be addressed. Whatever your situation, we’re here to walk through it with you.

Our attorneys take time to explain what probate is, what’s expected of you, and how we can help ease the process. We’ll handle tasks like filing court documents, locating assets, managing debts and taxes, and overseeing distributions, so you’re not left dealing with everything. And if disputes arise, we’re prepared to represent your interests while striving to preserve family relationships whenever possible.

Probate can be time-consuming and stressful. Our goal is to take some of the weight off your shoulders while giving you peace of mind.

Client Review

“Went to see Ed Gudeman for a Will and Testament. Mr. Gudeman explained about Wills versus Trusts and all the laws surrounding each and what would be best for our situation. We were amazed how much information needs to be collected to use in the trust. It took about 6 weeks to compile everything and then a draft copy was given to us to read and correct any mistakes,errors or changes. Working with the legal assistant Samantha was very easy and reassuring. I will recommend Gudeman and Associates to anyone that needs their Will or Trust set up.”
