Helping Individuals And Families In Zeeland Preserve Their Legacy

At Parakletos Law PLC, I understand that estate planning is a crucial step in safeguarding your future and supporting your loved ones. I am Jesse D. Bergwerff, a passionate and skilled estate planning attorney providing compassionate and comprehensive services designed to secure your legacy and protect your assets. I serve clients in Zeeland and throughout Ottawa County from my office in Hudsonville, Michigan.

Personalized Estate Plans For Zeeland Residents

At Parakletos Law PLC, I understand that your estate plan should reflect your personal values and the life you have built in Zeeland. I offer tailored solutions that reflect your individual needs and the complexities of local and state laws. Depending on your needs and priorities, your estate plan may involve a variety of tools, including:

• Wills: Wills are the backbone of many estate plans. I help Zeeland residents create documents that state their wishes for asset distribution and who will care for their minor children.
• Trusts: I help clients create trusts to ensure financial stability for their beneficiaries, manage their assets and minimize estate taxes.
• Powers of attorney: I can help you craft documents that designate trusted individuals to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. These documents can ease the stress on loved ones in a difficult time and ensure that your finances and health receive the support you want.
• Healthcare Directives: I can help you create a healthcare directive empowering you to make decisions about your future medical care.  It ensures your wishes are honored, even if you can’t communicate them yourself.

My firm stands ready to offer skilled guidance in creating new estate plans and adjusting plans after life changes like divorce or the birth of a child. I also guide families through the probate process with empathy, helping ensure that their loved one’s possessions are managed correctly and distributed in a way that reflects their wishes.

No matter their estate planning needs, I strive to provide each client with legal services rooted in integrity, excellence and collaboration. I will work directly with you at every stage of the estate planning process, providing both a listening ear and personalized guidance.
