Frequently Asked Questions About
Probate and Estate Administration in Michigan

The probate process in Michigan can take anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on factors such as the complexity of the estate, the presence of disputes or challenges, and the efficiency of the personal representative and probate court.
A personal representative, also known as an executor, is responsible for administering the deceased person’s estate. This includes identifying and collecting assets, paying the deceased’s debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries as per the will or state intestacy laws.
If a person dies without a valid will (intestate), their estate will go through probate, and their assets will be distributed according to Michigan’s intestacy laws. These laws dictate how assets are divided among the deceased person’s surviving family members, such as their spouse, children, and other relatives.
While it’s possible to handle probate and estate administration without an attorney, it’s generally not recommended, especially for larger or more complex estates. The process can be time-consuming and complicated, and an experienced probate attorney can help ensure a smooth process and avoid potential legal pitfalls.
