Estate Planning & Elder Law in Petoskey, Michigan

Trusted Legal Counsel for Northern Michigan Families

Families in and around Petoskey face many of the same legal decisions as households throughout Michigan: preparing an estate plan, planning for long-term care or disability, settling a loved one's estate, and protecting vulnerable family members. Bassett Murray Law Group, PLLC offers Petoskey and Emmet County residents the same thoughtful, personalized counsel that has guided our clients for more than 30 years.

Our Petoskey office is located at 3319 Lakeside Drive South in Petoskey, MI 49770. This office operates by appointment only, so that we can give each meeting the time and attention it deserves. We assist individuals, couples, and families across northern Michigan with estate planning, elder law and disability issues, probate and estate administration, guardianships and conservatorships, LGBTQIA+ legal matters, and adoption and assisted reproductive technology services.

How We Help Petoskey Families

A well-drafted estate plan gives northern Michigan families confidence that their wishes will be honored and their loved ones provided for. We help Petoskey clients create and update wills and trusts, name patient advocates, and put powers of attorney in place—documents that should reflect each family's unique circumstances rather than a generic template.

When health or disability concerns arise, our elder law and disability practice helps families understand long-term care planning and Medicaid options and protect the interests of adults with disabilities. After a loss, our probate and estate administration team guides personal representatives and beneficiaries through the court process and trust administration. We also assist with guardianships and conservatorships when court-ordered protections are needed, and we provide inclusive counsel for LGBTQIA+ families and representation in adoption and assisted reproductive technology matters.

Because the Petoskey office is by appointment only, we encourage you to reach out by phone or through our inquiry form to arrange a meeting. We will listen to your concerns, explain your options in plain language, and help you take the next step with confidence.
