What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
The probate process takes place in the state where the decedent was a resident. Where he died does not really matter. If his wife is still living, probate will probably not be necessary, as long as his wife has access to their assets.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Not unless she had moved out more than a year prior to his death. If it was for more than a year, you have an argument under Michigan law. Otherwise, they would have had to have been legally divorced in order for her not to receive her share of the estate. There are ways that your father could have disinherited his wife. By failing to set up his estate plan, it sounds like his intent is only going to be partially honored.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
All of the heirs must sign. The only way to get around a deadlock like this is to have the succession representative sell the house.
