Summary
Summary: Attorney Casey Conklin joins Bill Gross to discuss the critical nuances of estate planning and probate in Michigan. Conklin emphasizes that a simple will is often insufficient to avoid the public and costly probate process, advocating instead for comprehensive trusts. The episode covers tactical advice for real estate agents, including how to identify title issues early and the importance of ensuring trusts are properly funded with real property deeds. Conklin also shares his "Personal Family Lawyer" approach, focusing on generational relationships over one-off transactions.
