Your Michigan Will is used to:
-
Identify your personal representative, who is the executor who will settle your estate
-
distribute your assets
If you have minor children, your Michigan Will also:
-
identifies guardians to care for your minor children in the event of your death
-
creates trusts for your children
-
identifies trustees to manage the assets in the trusts
-
identifies when the trusts should terminate and be distributed to the children (free of the trust)
Additional features:
-
Self-proving affidavits integrated with the legal instrument (which allows your Will to be probated without having to bring the original witnesses to the signing of the Will to court)
-
No-contest clause which will cause any person who contests the Will to receive nothing
-
Personal representative receives the power to act independent of court-supervision, making the probate process easier and less expensive
