  3. What Is A Last Will and Testament? • The Last Will and Testament in Michigan is one of the most common Estate Planning documents. • Having a Will in place allows you to protect your family and ensure that your assets are distributed to your “devisees,” the people that you choose in your Will, instead of who the State chooses. rochesterlawcenter.com

  4. What Is A Last Will Used For? rochesterlawcenter.com

  5. You can use a Will to: • Specify who should receive your home, property, or assets after you pass, and in what percentage • Name a guardian to care for your children if they are minors. The guardian will make legal decisions on your child’s behalf and will decide what medical care they receive, or what schools they will attend • Appoint a Personal Representative to make sure that the wishes you specify in your Will are carried out accordingly. rochesterlawcenter.com

  6. What Happens If I Die Without A Last Will and Testament In Michigan? rochesterlawcenter.com

  7. If you die without a Last Will and Testament in Michigan, your Estate is considered “intestate” and is subject to the state’s intestacy laws. • For example, the court could find that an estranged relative that you never intended to give an inheritance to could be entitled to your Estate, while the loved ones you wanted to receive your property could be left with nothing.  • To avoid this scenario, have a legally binding Last Will and Testament drafted that outlines who your devisees or beneficiaries are, and what property each is entitled to.  rochesterlawcenter.com rochesterlawcenter.com

  8. Does A Will Avoid Probate In Michigan? rochesterlawcenter.com

  9. No, a Will is actually your ticket to Probate in Michigan. • After you pass away, your Will must be delivered to the Probate Court in your county of residence (or where you own real estate) to begin the process of administering your Estate. • Your Will is essentially a letter to the Probate Court telling the court who you’d like to receive your property after your death and who should manage the distribution of that property after you pass.  rochesterlawcenter.com
