Make sure you are the beneficiary of the policy and not an estate or trust. In Michigan, the policy proceeds would then pass to you and be exempt from attachment by creditors.

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

The executor or personal representative of an estate does not need to reside in the same state as the deceased did. In order to sucessfully fulfill the duties of the executor, it is important to use an attorney who is familiar with the probate and estate laws of the decedent's state of residence.

How do you contest and recover money taken from an estate?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
It depends on what the "taking" was and who did the "taking". An estate is a person like any other. The representative of the estate can take any action that would appropriate in a circumstance that did not involve an estate. Do criminal charges need to be filed? Does a demand letter preparing for a lawsuit need to be sent? How would you handle it if your money had been taken? If the "taking" was performed by the representative, action in the court appointing the representative should handle it.
