An experienced Michigan real estate attorney can provide detailed explanations and quality advice to ensure your real estate affairs are handled competently.
• Landlord-Tenant Disputes
  We also can advise on landlord and tenant issues, including eviction proceedings. If a landlord wishes to remove a tenant from rental property, the landlord must use the eviction process. The process is called a Summary Proceeding, and it moves quickly to restore rental property to the person lawfully entitled to possession. The landlord must never forcibly remove the tenant (or occupant).  This includes things like changing locks, turning off utilities, or some other act or omission that interferes with the tenant’s right to possess, use and enjoy the rental property.

• Trusts
  A.    A Living Trust is created during your lifetime, usually for your own benefit for as long as you live; and, after that, for the members of your family or other designated beneficiaries of your choice. You, the grantor, transfer assets to another party, known as a trustee. The Trust can be effective immediately for the management of your assets, thereby relieving you of that responsibility. Income can be made payable to you, and you can withdraw any or all assets as you desire. Assets transferred to a Living Trust need not pass under a Will, which results in both a savings of probate administration expenses, and the uninterrupted management of the assets upon your death. Living Trusts appeal to a variety of people, because they can be structured to provide a broad range of benefits. They can accomplish almost any financial protective purpose, help secure tax savings, and be a means of providing daily support for your family now and in the future.
• Power of Attorney
  A.    A Medical Power of Attorney assures you that your medical wishes will be followed in the event that you cannot speak for yourself.
