What You Should Know About Dying Without a Will in Michigan

Life is as unpredictable as it is beautiful. Yet, nobody can guarantee a tomorrow. Though making end-of-life or estate planning decisions can be disconcerting, failing to do so can have devastating consequences.

Dying without a Will—also known as dying intestate—subjects your estate to the dreaded probate process. According to Michigan State laws, this means that the court controls decisions regarding your assets. So, this process wastes valuable time and money and can even create conflict among your loved ones. Families should not be subject to fighting for a loved one’s personal assets.
