Losing a loved one is never easy. Nor are the legal considerations that follow.
Probate is the court process for identifying your loved one’s property, determining the validity of his or her will, and transferring assets in accordance with the will. It’s a lengthy process that can be complicated and intense — especially if disputes arise along the way.
Probate courts in Michigan also preside over guardianship/conservatorship proceedings. When a loved one is no longer capable of caring for himself or herself, it may become necessary to seek a court-appointed guardian to act on that person’s behalf.
