Helping individuals and families protect what they have built with thoughtful estate planning, probate guidance, and long-term support.
Protecting your future takes more than drafting a few documents. It takes a clear understanding of your goals, your family dynamics, and how your plan should work through every stage of life. At Hamilton & Associates, PLLC, we help individuals and families throughout Bloomfield Hills, Sterling Heights, and the surrounding area create plans that provide clarity, protection, and peace of mind.
Since 1985, Gregory C. Hamilton has focused on helping clients plan ahead with confidence. Our firm emphasizes wills, trusts, probate, and related planning strategies designed to protect assets, preserve family harmony, and reduce unnecessary complications down the road.
We structure our practice around the core services Michigan families need most when planning ahead or managing an estate.
Not every estate plan requires both, but many families benefit from using the two together. A will and a trust serve different purposes, and the right combination depends on your goals, assets, and family situation.
Certain planning strategies can reduce or avoid probate, but the best approach depends on how your assets are titled and what type of plan is in place.
Your estate plan should be reviewed whenever there is a major life event or meaningful change in your family, finances, or goals. Regular updates help ensure the plan still works the way you want it to.
If a person dies without a will, Michigan law controls how the estate is distributed. This can create delays, added expense, and outcomes that may not reflect what the person would have wanted.
Choosing an estate planning attorney is about more than finding someone to draft documents. It is about working with a firm that listens carefully, explains your options clearly, and helps you build a plan that truly fits your life.
The decisions you make today can have a lasting impact on the people you care about most. Whether you are creating your first estate plan, updating an existing one, or dealing with probate after the loss of a loved one, we are here to help you move forward with confidence.
