The Probate Law Firm of
Thav, Ryke & Associates
www.michprobate.com
The Probate Law Firm of Thav, Ryke & Associates handles the
administration of Estates, Trusts, Guardianships, and Conservatorships,
Life Insurance Disputes among many other related legal matters. Our
focus is mainly on Probate Litigation and Administration. Going to court
to make sure you receive what your loved one has intended for you to
receive. Tragically, it is all too often that money is stolen from decedents,
minors, the elderly, and disabled people, and too frequently nothing is
done to put a stop to it. Innocent family members often don’t realize until
the person dies or becomes legally incapacitated that their will has been
changed, property has been deeded or dissipated, or a bank account or
life insurance policy has a new unintended beneficiary. If you are in this
situation, call us; the consultation is free. We also do estate planning,
wills, and trusts so you can rest assured that if something does happen to
you, the right people will get their assets. So, if you have a simple estate or
trust that needs administration, or you find yourself in the fight of your
life, call the law firm that handles these issues every single day.
