Guardianship
What happens if I die without a will? This is a very common question that a lot of people have, so do not feel alone. Typically, if you die without a will, your estate will be divided in accordance with Michigan statute. This means that the court will appoint a Personal Representative for the distribution of your assets. While you may not like the fact that you will not have a choice in deciding who receives your belongings and property, the problem is worse if you have minor children. If you die leaving minor children and have not nominated a guardian, you may not get to decide who raises your children. Upon your death, your children may temporarily become wards of the State of Michigan. A family member may be able to request an emergency hearing with the Court so that temporary guardianship may be granted. Temporary guardianship will last until a full hearing on guardianship can be heard by the court. This can create a messy custody battle that can create more stress for the children and the family in an already stressful time. The creation of an estate plan can make the transition less stressful, more efficient, and less expensive, benefiting the children and all of the family members.

Business Disputes
Business Transactions
The “ordinary course of business” defense has two prongs. A payment made by the debtor within 90 days of bankruptcy is not a preferential payment if it was made 1) in the ordinary course of business, and 2) in the ordinary course of your business transactions with the debtor. Because most payments from shippers to carriers occur in the ordinary course of the shippers business, the analysis is usually reduced to an analysis of your payment terms with the debtor, and when the payments actually occurred. Though there is no hard and fast rule, courts generally find that payments within 50-60 days of invoicing are timely. In essence, the court is inquiring into whether you extended the debtor more favorable terms when he started to fall behind. If you did, you can’t take advantage of the “ordinary course of business” defense. This is why it’s important to insist that your customers keep their accounts current.

Medicaid Planning
Nonetheless, numerous Medicaid planning techniques remain viable, even after the enactment of the DRA. These techniques can serve to preserve assets and/or provide continued support to a spouse who remains in the community. Clients often consider and request incapacity and Medicaid planning not only for themselves, but also for loved ones such as parents and grandparents. A few of the tools commonly used in our Medicaid planning practice include...

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
An area of our practice that frequently coincides with estate planning is elder law. Common objectives in elder law include planning for incapacity and the potential need of nursing home care. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) effectively made the criteria for qualification of Medicaid even more stringent than before. Furthermore, Medicaid laws and procedures are literally changing on a daily basis, making planning more challenging than ever.
Wills
John focuses his practice in estate planning, probate and trust litigation and administration, and Medicaid law. His services range from drafting simple wills to creating estate plans for high net worth clients with taxable estates and complex business and real property issues. He also advises elderly clients (or their representatives) when planning or attempting to qualify for Medicaid. Read More

Power of Attorney
In addition to a will and a nomination of a guardian, other desirable documents include a Patient Advocate Designation (“PAD”) and a Power of Attorney (“POA”). A PAD allows you to outline your desires regarding medical treatment if you are incapacitated and gives you the opportunity to select a person who will make medical decisions for you and follow your wishes. The POA allows you to select a person who will make financial decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated. These are highly recommended documents for any estate plan and provide you the opportunity to detail how you want medical and financial decisions made when you are not able to make those decisions. An essential estate plan is relatively, and surprisingly, inexpensive.
Probate

Bankruptcy
Actions that seem intuitive from a business point of view can squarely violate the bankruptcy code and potentially cause many more problems than you hope to avoid. It is important to seek the counsel of an attorney with experience in both transportation law and bankruptcy law in order to avoid the potential pitfalls of bankruptcy.
Tax Law
Estate Planning Guinan Bisonet provides services for individuals with modest estates in need of relatively simple planning such as wills, powers of attorney, and patient healthcare advocate designations; we also handle planning for individuals and business owners of high wealth requiring progressive and sophisticated estate, business, and tax planning.
