⚖️ Important: We Are Not Attorneys

A Revocable Living Trust in Wyoming, Michigan is one of the most powerful estate planning tools available for Kent County residents. It allows you to avoid probate court, maintain privacy, protect your assets, and ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend — without court involvement, delays, or public record.
Wyoming is the second-largest city in the Grand Rapids metro — known for affordable housing, strong schools, and the 28th Street commercial corridor. Working families, manufacturing professionals, and longtime homeowners building equity in the $200K–$350K range benefit from avoiding Kent County probate through a Revocable Living Trust.
Our professional document preparation services help Wyoming residents create comprehensive, legally valid Revocable Living Trusts without the $2,000–$5,000+ attorney fees typical of Kent County estate planning attorneys. Whether you need a simple DIY trust form or full professional preparation with mobile notary and witness services, we offer affordable options for every budget.
✅ Michigan Tax Advantage — NO State Estate Tax & NO Inheritance Tax
Michigan has NO state estate tax and NO state inheritance tax — making it one of the most tax-friendly states for estate planning. Your trust assets pass to beneficiaries free of state-level death taxes. Michigan’s flat 4.25% income tax rate is also among the lowest in the Midwest. Combined with a properly funded Revocable Living Trust, your family avoids both probate AND state death taxes.
📋 Michigan Trust Code (EPIC) — Your Legal Framework
Michigan trusts are governed by the Estates and Protected Individuals Code (EPIC), specifically MCL 700.7101 et seq. Key Michigan trust provisions include:
• Revocable trusts can be created by any competent adult (age 18+)
• No court approval required to create, amend, or revoke
• Surviving spouse’s elective share applies to trust assets (Michigan is NOT a community property state)
• Trust certification (MCL 700.7913) allows third parties to rely on a Certificate of Trust
• For Wyoming residents, probate (if needed) would be filed with the Kent County Probate Court

Why Choose a Revocable Living Trust in Michigan?
✅ Avoid Probate Court
Assets in a living trust bypass Michigan probate court entirely. No court supervision, no delays, no probate fees — immediate distribution to beneficiaries.
✅ Maintain Complete Privacy
Wills become public record through probate. Trusts remain private — no one knows what you own or who inherits except your chosen trustees and beneficiaries.
✅ Immediate Asset Distribution
Probate can take 6–18 months in Michigan. Trust assets can be distributed immediately after death — no waiting for court approval.
✅ Incapacity Protection
If you become incapacitated, your successor trustee manages the trust without court-appointed conservatorship — maintaining your privacy and dignity.
✅ Flexibility & Control
As a “revocable” trust, you maintain complete control. You can modify, amend, or revoke the trust at any time during your lifetime.
✅ Multi-State Property Management
Own property in multiple states? A Michigan living trust can hold property nationwide, avoiding probate in each state — saving thousands in legal fees.

Our Professional Trust Preparation Process
Step 1: Free Initial Consultation
Call us at 1-877-540-6104 for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your estate planning goals, family situation, assets, and help you understand if a living trust is right for you.
Step 2: Information Gathering
We’ll collect essential information about your trustees, successor trustees, beneficiaries, assets, distribution wishes, and special instructions via phone, video call, or secure questionnaire.
Step 3: Custom Trust Drafting
Our professional document preparers create your custom Michigan Revocable Living Trust tailored to your specific wishes with full EPIC compliance.
Step 4: Document Review
We deliver your draft trust for review (typically 3–5 business days). You review the document and we make any necessary revisions until it perfectly reflects your wishes.
Step 5: Execution (Signing)
For DIY and Professional packages, you sign the trust yourself. For our Full Package ($1,295), we send a mobile notary and witnesses to your Wyoming location to supervise proper execution.
Step 6: Trust Funding Guidance
Creating the trust is only the first step — you must also fund the trust by transferring assets into it. We provide detailed guidance on retitling real estate, bank accounts, investments, and other assets into your trust name.
What Assets Should Go in Your Michigan Living Trust?
- Real Estate: Your Wyoming home, vacation properties (including Up North cottages), rental properties, vacant land
- Bank Accounts: Checking, savings, CDs, money market accounts
- Investment Accounts: Brokerage accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds
- Business Interests: LLCs, partnerships, corporations
- Vehicles: Cars, boats, RVs (Michigan title transfer required)
- Personal Property: Jewelry, art, collections (via assignment)
Note: Retirement accounts (401k, IRA) and life insurance typically use beneficiary designations rather than trust ownership, though the trust can be named as beneficiary.
Frequently Asked Questions: Wyoming Living Trusts
How much does a Revocable Living Trust cost in Michigan?
Our Wyoming Living Trust services range from $14.95 for DIY forms to $495 for professional trust preparation to $1,295 for our complete package with mobile notary and witnesses. This is significantly less than the $2,000–$5,000+ Kent County attorneys typically charge.
Do I need an attorney to create a Living Trust in Michigan?
No. Michigan law allows you to create your own Revocable Living Trust without an attorney, as long as it complies with EPIC and is properly executed.
What’s included in the $995 Estate Planning Bundle?
Revocable Living Trust + Certificate of Trust + Pour-Over Will + Last Will and Testament + Advance Directive + Durable Power of Attorney + Healthcare Power of Attorney + HIPAA Waiver. That’s a $1,170 value for just $995.
Why is the Full Package ($1,295) worth it?
It’s the only service that includes mobile notary AND two witnesses sent directly to your Wyoming location. We come to your home, office, hospital, or assisted living facility.
How long does it take to prepare a Living Trust?
DIY forms are instant download. Professional preparation takes 3–5 business days. Rush services available for urgent situations.
What’s the difference between a Revocable Living Trust and a Will?
A Living Trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and allows immediate asset distribution. A Will must go through probate court, becomes public record, and takes 5–12 months in Michigan. Most people benefit from having BOTH — the trust for major assets and a Pour-Over Will as backup.
Do I still need a Will if I have a Living Trust?
Yes! You need a “Pour-Over Will” as a backup for any assets not transferred into your trust before death. Our Estate Bundle includes both.
Does Michigan have an estate tax or inheritance tax?
No. Michigan has NO state estate tax and NO state inheritance tax. Michigan’s flat 4.25% income tax rate is also among the lowest in the Midwest.
What is Michigan’s elective share?
Under EPIC, a surviving spouse can claim an “elective share” of the deceased spouse’s estate — typically equivalent to what they would have received under intestacy. This applies even to assets in a Revocable Living Trust. Our trust preparation accounts for spousal rights.
Where is probate filed in Kent County?
For Wyoming residents, probate is filed with the Kent County Probate Court. A Revocable Living Trust avoids this process entirely.
