I am writing to request your assistance as the conservator for [Ward's Name], whom I have been appointed as the guardian for by [Court's Name]. I have recently become aware of the need to make rearrangements for [Ward's Name]'s funeral expenses, and I believe it is in their best interest to address this matter promptly. As you may know, [Ward's Name] is a resident of Michigan, and I am acting as their guardian according to the guidelines set forth by Michigan law. Given this authority, I have the responsibility to manage their financial affairs and ensure their well-being. Having carefully evaluated [Ward's Name]'s situation, it is evident that prepaying their funeral expenses will alleviate potential financial hardships on their estate and loved ones in the future. It is essential to be proactive in dealing with such matters, as funeral costs can burden families significantly during already emotionally challenging times.

This approach will help secure [Ward's Name]'s financial stability and ensure that their wishes are fulfilled in terms of funeral arrangements. To streamline this process, I have attached a proposed funeral prepayment agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions of the prepayment plan. This agreement has been carefully researched and is compliant with Michigan regulations to offer the necessary legal protections. It is crucial to note that while I recommend prepaying the funeral expenses to shield [Ward's Name]'s estate, it is ultimately your decision as the conservator whether to authorize this arrangement. I kindly ask you to review the attached agreement thoroughly and consider its benefits and implications. I would appreciate if we could arrange a convenient time to discuss this matter further and address any concerns or questions you may have. Together, I believe we can ensure that [Ward's Name]'s financial affairs are handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
