Estate Planning Attorney Serving Clients from Troy, MI
Woods Law Office – Local Guidance You Can Count On in Shelby Township, MI
When you think about estate planning, what comes to mind? Wills? Trusts? Maybe powers of attorney? Those are definitely part of it—but the real heart of estate planning is this: control. Control over what happens to your health, your finances, and your legacy when life throws something unexpected your way.
At Woods Law Office, we help individuals and families from Troy, MI build estate plans that are both practical and personal. Located in Shelby Township, we work closely with local clients to make sure their wishes are clearly documented and legally sound—without the confusing legalese or endless paperwork.
What Exactly Does an Estate Planning Attorney Do?
A good estate planning attorney does a lot more than write up a will. Our job is to look at the big picture, like your assets, your family, your health, and your goals, in order to create a plan that works for you.
We help with:
- Wills and trusts that protect your legacy and simplify asset transfer
- Durable powers of attorney for financial and medical decisions
- Living wills and advance directives for end-of-life care
- Probate avoidance strategies to spare your family from court hassles
- Special needs planning for family members who require lifelong care
- Business succession planning if you’re a small business owner
It’s not about guessing what you might need. It’s about creating a legal safety net that reflects your values, your relationships, and your life’s work.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Here’s something we see all the time: folks who meant to get their estate planning in order… but never quite got around to it. Then a health emergency hits, or someone passes away unexpectedly, and suddenly the family is left scrambling without clear direction.
That’s not what anyone wants.
The truth is, estate planning is a gift you give to the people you love. It’s a way of taking care of them, even after you’re gone. And when done right, it brings peace of mind you didn’t know you were missing.

Do I Really Need an Estate Plan?
Let me ask you this: if something happened tomorrow, who would make your medical decisions? Who would access your accounts to pay the bills? Who would inherit your home?
