Michigan Wills

Laws concerning Michigan Wills are found in Michigan Probate Code.  You can create a legal and valid Michigan Will that meet these criteria using LegacyWriter's online forms.

Who Can Make a Will?

A Michigan Will can be created by an adult who is of sound mind at the time of creating the document.

Michigan Estate Taxes

Upon your death federal and Michigan taxes can be collected.  If your estate is large enough to meet the minimum filing standards ($1.5 million for deaths in 2005), the executor of your estate has 9 months to file United States Estate Tax Return (IRS Form 706) and pay any taxes that are due.

Probate: Michigan courts and your Last Will

Probate is a court-supervised process for gathering the deceased person's assets, paying taxes, claims and expenses and distributing assets to beneficiaries.  A person's assets that are processed in probate include both items described in a Michigan Will and even assets that may not be explicitly listed in the Will.
