Mission
Empowering families and businesses to protect their wealth, knowledge, and values following death or disability and to ensure their Infinite Legacy
Background, Experience, and Philosophy
Attorney Shawn P. Eyestone
First and foremost, I am a family man, and I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my wife and six children. I also come from a long line of widows. My mother became a widow when she was 63, my grandmother became a widow when she was 52, and my great-grandmother became a widow when she was 30. My mother and grandmother have shown me first hand the basic needs of those left behind when a loved one dies. This experience has instilled in me a passion for putting plans together that educate, equip, and empower widows and other heirs.
Professionally, I am an entrepreneur, estate planner and small business attorney. I do my best work for families and business owners who want to ensure that their surviving spouse or other heirs are appropriately educated, equipped and empowered with an Infinite Legacy℠ Plan that guides them in becoming stewards of the family’s assets, knowledge, and beliefs.
Experience
My work has greatly benefited numerous families over the years, and, as a result, I have been awarded the highest ratings offered by AVVO and Martindale-Hubbell, two of the most respected organizations that rate attorneys.
I earned my law degree from Wayne State University Law School after first graduating with a bachelor’s degree from the Lee Honors College of Western Michigan University. Following law school, I worked as an attorney in the estate planning, and business law practice groups of West Michigan and Detroit-area law firms, gaining valuable experience and a very loyal client-following.
I am actively involved with WealthCounsel, a nationwide consortium of over 2,300 of the top estate planing and business attorneys in the country. I am also a member of the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils, the Western Michigan Estate Planning Council, and the State Bar of Michigan, where I was selected to serve on the statewide Membership Services Committee. I am the vice president of the Grand Rapids Lions Club, a Deacon at Knapp Street Reformed Church, a coach with Grandville AYSO, and a past president and former director of the Specialized Language Development Center.
Philosophy
You and Your Family Are Valuable
Your Legacy Is Valuable
Your Time Is Valuable
You and Your Family Are Valuable
You and your family are more valuable to one another than can adequately be put into words, and that relationship is the foundation of all of the Infinite Legacy℠ Planning we do, whether for personal or business purposes. Your assets are the result of your relationships, values, and knowledge, which are far more useful to those you leave behind than the assets alone.
Your Legacy Is Valuable
Our Infinite Legacy℠ Planning process will help you identify what is most valuable to you and your family and what needs to be included in your personalized Infinite Legacy℠ Plan to protect that for you and for those you leave behind. Our Infinite Legacy℠ Program then educates, equips, and empowers your family and other heirs to carry out your Infinite Legacy℠ Plan while preserving your values and strengthening those relationships.
Your Time Is Valuable
We offer a free confidential Infinite Legacy℠ Planning Session for your family or your business. Our Infinite Legacy℠ Planning Session is an in-depth exploration of the relationships and assets important to your family or business. These meaningful discussions will result in concrete action steps for protecting your family, your business and your Infinite Legacy℠. We do all of this on your time schedule at one of our offices in Grandville, Grand Rapids, or Muskegon or at your place of business or home if you are unable to make it to one of our offices. Please call or email us to schedule your free Infinite Legacy℠ Planning Session today.
