About.
At Cross + Compass, PLC, we help Michigan families and property owners navigate important legal and real estate decisions with clarity, confidence, and care.
Our legal practice focuses on estate planning, probate and trust administration, and real estate law. We work closely with clients to provide practical solutions, clear explanations, and personalized guidance - whether planning for the future, settling a loved one’s estate, administering a trust, addressing a property matter, or navigating a significant life transition.
Our services include:
Estate Planning — Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, patient advocate designations, beneficiary coordination, and estate and trust planning tailored to each family’s goals.
Probate & Trust Administration — Guiding personal representatives, trustees, and families through probate proceedings, estate settlement, trust administration, asset transfers, beneficiary distributions, and the many legal and practical responsibilities that arise after a loved one’s death.
Real Estate Law — Purchase agreements, deeds and property transfers, easements, title issues, closings, landlord–tenant matters, and other residential and commercial real estate needs.
Founder Steven C. Cross also serves as an Associate Broker with Petoskey Real Estate Group, giving clients access to a distinctive combination of legal, trust, and real estate experience. This background can be especially valuable when a matter involves inherited property, real estate held in an estate or trust, or a client who needs both legal guidance and practical real estate experience.
Based in Petoskey and proudly serving Northern Michigan, Cross + Compass is built around a simple philosophy: understand where you are, know where you want to go, and provide trusted guidance to help you get there.
Planning Today for Peace Tomorrow.
