Lily Mears is a law clerk at Mid-Michigan Estate Planning Law. She is a third-year law student at Michigan State University College of Law. As a law clerk, Lily prides herself on empathetic yet direct engagement with clients and on focused legal research.

Lily’s passion for estate law began when a death in her family provided her with first-hand experience with administration of an estate. She saw how stressful the complicated post-death process was for her parents and resolved to build a career in the field to try and ease the stress for other families.
