Even the co-creator of super heroes is not immune. Stan Lee, the co-creator of such beloved characters as Spider-Man and Captain America recently passed away following a long illness. It\u2019s not yet known if he left a will or trust\u00a0but he had many business managers over the years and had disputes and disagreements with them that resulted in their terminations. A possible lack of cohesive\u00a0estate planning\u00a0may cause confusion in settling the estate.It is possible that multiple documents exist regarding the dispensation of his likely considerable estate. One example involves a dispute he had with his daughter. He apparently complained that she was spending too much money and he had a document drawn up and notarized. A short time later, he took the document back.It\u2019s possible that there are multiple versions of similar documents in existence. Legal fees involved in resolving issues with the estate could grow to a large amount and may\u00a0be charged to the estate. To prevent confusion regarding one\u2019s final wishes, documents should be periodically reviewed and updated.A person in Michigan who is considering creating or revising an estate plan should consult with an experienced attorney. Estate planning needs to be changed as personal and business situations change. Keeping these documents up to date can ensure that property and asset distribution is carried out according to one\u2019s wishes. A knowledgeable attorney can review a person\u2019s assets, family situation and other relevant factors to help ensure that nothing is overlooked and that one\u2019s final wishes are carried out successfully."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/nmichlaw.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Document Reviews Can Assist With Successful Estate Planning","item":"https:\/\/nmichlaw.com\/blog\/document-reviews-can-assist-with-successful-estate-planning\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
