The document is an excerpt from the Seller Disclosure Act (Act 92 of 1993) in Michigan, which outlines the requirements for sellers to disclose the condition of their property to potential buyers. It includes a standardized Seller's Disclosure Statement form that sellers must complete, detailing known issues and conditions related to the property, appliances, systems, and any environmental hazards. The act emphasizes that this disclosure is not a warranty and advises buyers to conduct their own inspections.

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

Is probate mandatory in Michigan?

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.

Does a surviving spouse automatically inherit everything in Michigan?

If the estate is small and there is a surviving spouse, that person inherits all the property. If there is no surviving spouse, any property will be given or paid to direct descendants of the decedent, starting with the decedents children.

What kind of will does not require probate?

Assets with designated beneficiaries that commonly bypass probate encompass: Insurance policies. Retirement accounts like IRAs. Bank accounts with payable-on-death designations.

How long does an executor have to settle an estate in Michigan?

Fortunately, Michigan does not have a state estate tax or inheritance tax.

How do I know if I need probate or not?

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.
