Attorney Michael Brown Quoted in Edge Magazine Article on Smart Planning for Golden Years

February 04, 2025

In the February 2025 issue of Edge Magazine, Miller & Martin estate planning attorney Michael Brown was quoted in the article titled "The Cost: How Smart Planning Can Help Keep 'The Golden Years' Golden" sharing what he considers the three most common things families fail to address as family members age. Brown says families often neglect to plan for the possibility of living in incapacity, regularly update "transfer on death" designations for asset accounts, and adequately prepare for retirement and succession with legal documentation to ensure assets and business interests are handled according to their wishes and minimize disputes. 

Brown says, "There are often misconceptions about what families think has been handled, but hasn't." 

As an attorney in Miller & Martin's corporate department, Brown assists clients with trusts, estate planning and wealth management, as well as mergers and acquisitions and general corporate law matters.
