Price
What drives the cost of wills and trusts in Franklin
- Fee structure: most wills and trusts are flat fee packages
- Will only versus a trust based plan
- Number of properties and whether any are outside Michigan
- Special provisions for minors, blended families or special needs
- Trust funding work, including new deeds
- Recording costs, separate from the attorney fee
- The age of the home: the typical Franklin home was built around 1958, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time
Before you hire in Franklin
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Franklin was built around 1958. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.
Older plumbing and sewer lines
57% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.
Permits: check with the Franklin building department before work starts.

Wills and Trusts in Franklin: FAQ
Generally no. A will directs how property passes through probate. A properly funded trust or other transfer arrangements can avoid probate for those assets.
It means retitling property, such as the house and accounts, into the trust. Property left in your own name may still need probate.
Michigan allows it in some forms, but mistakes in signing or wording can cause disputes. An attorney helps avoid that.
