Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the biggest mistake with wills?

If your language is ambiguous or your intentions are not clear it could lead to instructions not being followed properly or the will being ruled invalid. Ensure you seek professional advice when writing a will, and that all of the proper steps are taken, including having the will witnessed.

Does every will have to go to probate?

One of the biggest questions people ask us is: Do I need probate if there is a will? The truth is, having a will doesnt always mean probate can be avoided. Whether probate is needed depends on factors like the value of the estate, how assets are owned, and the requirements of banks or financial institutions.

Can an executor also be a beneficiary?

Legally, an executor of a will can also be a beneficiary, but there is a lot more to it.

Can I make a will without a lawyer in Michigan?

No, you do not need a lawyer to make a Will in Michigan. Generally speaking, Wolverine State laws do not require you to hire a lawyer to create or execute a valid Will. However, you may want to consult an estate planning professional for advice if you have a large estate or special conditions that you wish to meet.

What would be the best reason to file a will in the probate court?

A last will and testament is a legal document that expresses how you want your property and assets distributed after your death. Among the top reasons to make will is to avoid family disputes, provide for minor children and pets, and streamline the probate process.

What are the requirements for a will to be valid in Michigan?

While spouses, then children, generally take precedence in Michigan inheritance law, there are some laws of succession should you die intestate without either of those heirs. For example, if you are unmarried without children and die intestate, your parents inherit your entire estate.

Can you file a will for someone else?

Even if you are the one creating the Will, the person for whom the Will is created (the Testator) will always need to review and approve the document and execute the Will. Creating a Will for someone else can help make the process faster, but ultimately the Testator must execute the Will to make it valid.
