A Certificate of Trust is a legal document that confirms certain important information (required by Michigan law) about a trust, as well as the currently serving trustee(s). It is a summary of the trust that is used in lieu of providing a copy of the actual trust.

3 easy steps to your Certificate of Trust

  1. Send us information about you, the Trust and the currently serving trustee(s) by clicking the “Submit Information Here” button. You will need the Trust name, and addresses and telephone numbers for current Trustees.
  2. Send us a copy of your ID (i.e. driver’s license), the Trust, all Trust amendments, death certificate for previous trustee(s) if you are the successor trustee, and deed with legal description if you are selling real estate, through our Documents Upload Center.
  3. Pay $385* retainer fee HERE.

*Fee will be less if you are a member of an organization where our services are provided as a member benefit.

=============

We normally reply within 2 business days from receipt of the foregoing to let you know if a telephone consultation will be required, or if any further information is needed. 

NOTICES

If you are not already a client of ours, the State Bar of Michigan requires us to confirm that we will not have a conflict in preparing the requested document for you. We will send you an email within 2 business days advising as to whether we are able to accept you as a client.

The retainer fee will be promptly refunded if for any reason we determine that we are unable to accept you as our client or to prepare the requested document.

Submitting your request for a document through this site does not establish an attorney-client relationship between you and Doyle Law PC or any of our attorneys. That relationship is only established once we accept you as a client and agree to prepare the requested document.
