Trust Attorney in Bloomfield Hills
Michigan Trust Planning Backed by Over Five Decades of Estate Law Practice
A trust is a legal arrangement in which a grantor transfers assets to a trustee to manage for the benefit of named beneficiaries. Done well, it can give your family clarity, control, and protection that a will alone can’t provide. We’ve been helping Michigan families build that kind of protection since 1970, and we bring that same depth of practice to every trust planning engagement in Bloomfield Hills.
At Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras P.C., we don’t approach trust planning with a one-size template. We take time to understand your family’s goals, relationships, and financial circumstances before recommending any structure. Andrew and Danielle Mayoras, whose work on trust and probate law has been featured on CNN, Forbes, and CBS News Detroit, are part of the team you’ll work with directly. Our attorneys explain every step in plain language so you leave each meeting informed and confident, not overwhelmed.

Why Bloomfield Hills Families Choose Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras P.C.
Trust planning often comes at a complicated moment when a family is navigating health changes, blended family dynamics, or simply a desire to protect what they’ve built. We understand that the legal decision doesn’t exist apart from the human one. Our attorneys lead with empathy and discretion, and clients consistently describe working with us as manageable and empowering rather than stressful.
CPAs, financial advisors, and fiduciaries throughout Oakland County regularly refer clients to us because they know we communicate clearly and follow through. Many of the families we serve have returned across multiple generations. That kind of long-term trust doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from decades of responsive, transparent counsel and an A+ BBB rating we’ve maintained since 1998.
What sets us apart is that the same attorneys who build your trust plan can defend it. Our team handles trust contests, beneficiary disputes, and trustee conduct matters in addition to drafting, which means your plan is built with a clear understanding of how disputes actually arise and how they’re resolved in Michigan courts.
Start Your Trust Plan with a Conversation
Every engagement begins the same way: we listen before we offer direction. We’re transparent about the process, the timeline, and what to expect from the first consultation forward. If you’re ready to put a trust plan in place for your family in Bloomfield Hills, we’re ready to help you do it thoughtfully and thoroughly.

Why Bloomfield Hills Families Create Trusts
Probate avoidance is one of the most common reasons families pursue trust planning. Assets held in a properly funded trust pass to beneficiaries without going through Oakland County Probate Court, which can shorten distribution timelines and keep your family’s financial arrangements out of the public record. A will, by contrast, becomes a public document once it enters probate.
Families with minor children often use trusts to name a trustee who manages inherited assets until children reach a specified age, which can avoid the need for a court to appoint a guardian of the property. Trusts can also build in staggered or conditional distributions by releasing funds when a beneficiary completes education or reaches a set age, giving you more lasting control than a will provides on its own.
Irrevocable trusts structured for Medicaid planning may help protect assets from long-term care costs, though Michigan’s five-year look-back period for Medicaid eligibility is an important consideration, and outcomes depend on individual circumstances. Blended families, families with a member who has special needs, and those managing business interests often benefit most from structures designed around their specific situation.
Trust Planning Within a Complete Estate Plan
A trust works best when it’s coordinated with the rest of your plan. At Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras P.C., our practice areas in estate planning, elder law, probate, and litigation work together, which means a trust created here can be supported, administered, or defended by the same attorneys throughout its life. You won’t need to explain your situation to a new firm if circumstances change.
Our attorneys bring focused knowledge in elder law alongside trust planning, addressing long-term care considerations and Medicaid questions within the same representation. From straightforward trust drafting to multi-million-dollar inheritance disputes, we’ve helped Michigan families navigate the full range of trust-related needs, and we bring that same range to clients throughout Bloomfield Hills and Oakland County.
