Probate Administration
When you or a loved one are forced to deal with the Probate Court, the outcome is not guaranteed. The Probate Attorneys with our firm specialize in assisting families navigate the probate process to reduce stress and increase the likelihood of obtaining the desired result.
The word probate comes from Latin probatum which means “something proved.” Probate typically refers to the process in which an individual’s assets are transferred on death during which his or her will is “proved” and admitted to probate court.
In Michigan, each county has a Probate Court which has jurisdiction over the following matters:
Wills and Deceased Estates
Trusts
Guardianships (Minors and Adults)
Conservatorships (Minors and Adults)
Mentally Ill and Developmentally Disabled Individuals
