I am the founder of Suzanne R. Fanning, PLLC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and have over 20 years of legal experience. I concentrate my practice exclusively in the area of probate, trusts and estates. I graduated from the University of Bristol in England in 1991, with a BA with Honors in History. I subsequently obtained my law degree from Wayne State Law School in 1996. I am a member of the State Bar of Michigan and the Washtenaw County Bar Association. I served as co-chair of the Washtenaw County Bar Association Probate and Estate Section from 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, after being elected to that position by my peers. I am frequently appointed as a Guardian Ad Litem by the Washtenaw County Probate Court in Ann Arbor, and have also been appointed as an independent Guardian, Conservator and Trustee. A seasoned litigator, I have significant experience and knowledge to successfully guide clients through the difficult process of a probate court action, whether it is necessary to contest a trust or will, challenge a fiduciary improperly performing his or her duties or bring a contested guardianship. I know that these cases involve, not only important legal issues, but often difficult family dynamics and significant stress. My counsel and legal acumen is invaluable in addressing all aspects of a litigated matter. I am also an accomplished trust and estate planner and can effectively create a comprehensive plan, giving clients the comfort of knowing that they have ensured security for their children and family. Suzanne R. Fanning PLLC is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan just steps from the Washtenaw County courthouse. I routinely practice in Washtenaw, Wayne, Monroe, Livingston, Genesee and Lenawee counties. However, I regularly travel throughout Michigan to represent clients.
