Divorce
Adoption
Guardianship
Fildew Hinks attorneys are experienced practitioners in the Probate Courts. We address matters of Guardianship and Conservatorship appointments, which sometimes call for equal measures of both tough resolve, and compassion, when dealing with a family confronting the difficult circumstance of a vulnerable and failing family member. Fildew Hinks attorneys also assist many, many clients in the administration of a decedent's estate in the appropriate County Probate Court. We work with out-of-state counsel if an ancillary probate is required elsewhere, and act as such ancillary counsel in Michigan if needed. Further, we regularly represent clients in other matters addressed in the Probate Court, such as a modification of a trust, or a termination of a trust, Will litigation, and Trust litigation. We have represented both corporate and individual Will and Trust beneficiaries, and have also represented individual and corporate fiduciaries such as trustees and Personal Representatives, in other instances, thus providing a wide range of both perspective and experience. Unlike some other forums, Probate Court is sometimes hallmarked by anxiety which may accompany strained family relationships. We understand those difficulties, and undertake the tasks with our client's interests first and foremost, but also with the courtesy and professionalism which Probate Court Judges expect and require.
