Planning for Incapacity and Death

Are you prepared for a health emergency? When a stroke, accident or other life-changing event occurs, your life can change in an instant.

Creation of Wills

When your assets and bequests are simple, folks often choose to write their own will. As long as you comply with state laws, you will likely stand up in a court of law, and it will be executed as planned. But if you own land, investment accounts and/or own a business, assistance from a qualified law firm, such as Mark A. Jackson & Associates, PLLC, is a wise decision. We'll guide you through the process of putting your accounts in order and designating an executor who will follow your wishes and correctly distribute your assets. When you call (517) 888-7706 to schedule a consultation, we'll arrange a convenient time to meet with you and discuss your goals.

The following are other pieces of information we'll ask about as we create your last will and testament:

  • Selection of executor, the person who will carry out your directives
  • Identification of heirs
  • The naming of a guardian for any minors or dependents
  • Dividing property and assets including real estate, retirement accounts, and bank accounts
  • Assigning any other tangible assets and special collectibles, etc.
