Estate and Probate Administration Has Many Facets
How much are the assets worth? How can you ensure they are distributed in accordance with your loved one’s wishes? What about debts? Estate and probate administration have many facets. Our Michigan probate attorneys can ensure that you comply with relevant probate laws, settle all debts, distribute assets, and meet filing and accounting deadlines and guidelines.
If your loved one dies without a will, Michigan law will dictate how assets are handled. We can protect your interests during the probate court process. Your loved one may have left a trust in place of, or in addition to, a will. We can explain to you how these documents may differ and affect one another.

What to Know About The Michigan Probate Process
The death of a loved one will often lead to a lot of grief for family and friends.
