Again, it depends how the assets were owned. Many couples own their home as joint tenants and have joint bank accounts, meaning probate wouldnt be required. But probate could be needed for any large assets owned in the deceaseds sole name, or a property owned as tenants in common.
Assets with designated beneficiaries that commonly bypass probate encompass: Insurance policies. Retirement accounts like IRAs. Bank accounts with payable-on-death designations.
The Michigan probate process typically takes 5-12 months but can extend longer for complex estates or when disputes arise. Costs generally include: Court filing fees (approximately $175) Personal representative fees (reasonable compensation)
Transfer by Affidavit The sworn statement form is titled Affidavit of Decedents Successor for Delivery of Certain Assets Owned by Decedent (PC 598), and must be signed before a notary public.
But for estates in Michigan that exceed the small-estates threshold, and for which there is either no Will, or a Will (but not a Living Trust), probate will be required before an estate can be transferred to the decedents heirs or beneficiaries.

Is Probate Required in Michigan? Probate is required in Michigan when the assets are solely owned. For example if someone passes away and they are the only owner on the property title of their home, then the home would need to pass through probate.
