Experienced Estate Planning And Long-Term Care Planning For Elders And Their Families In Southwest Michigan

Holistic Estate Planning Services In Southwest Michigan

Estate planning is something everyone should consider, especially during significant life changes such as receiving a major medical diagnosis, having children or nearing retirement. A well-structured estate plan simplifies the management of your affairs, protects you in the event of incapacity, preserves your assets and carries out your wishes. It provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

At Q Elderlaw, PLC, we can address your estate planning needs with a personalized and holistic approach. Our founder, Kelly Quardokus, has been involved with senior issues both in private practice and working in non-profits since 1993. She offers extensive experience and a thorough understanding of senior issues and the tools available to prepare for life’s uncertainties. Based in Portage, she and our team serve clients throughout Kalamazoo-Portage and beyond in Southwest Michigan.

Is A Will Enough For Effective Estate Planning?

While a will is often thought of as a fundamental component of estate planning, it’s not sufficient on its own. An effective estate plan should address issues that arise during your lifetime – not
just at your death – including:

  • Lifetime assistance and incapacity planning through powers of attorney and medical advance directives
  • Asset control and preservation during life and at death through tools such as trusts, including special needs trusts to plan for loved ones living with a disability without jeopardizing public benefits
  • Probate avoidance to reduce the expense and burden of administering your estate
  • Long-term care planning, such as Medicaid planning, to address your health needs as you age without exhausting your financial resources — this is especially important for married
    couples when one spouse is ill

We can address these and other considerations you may be facing. Our team will work closely with you to develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your circumstances.
