[Video] What is Probate

Probate refers to the first step in the process of administering an estate of a deceased person. This process includes the resolution of all claims to the deceased person’s property under a will, as well as a legal determination of the will and the appointment of an executor with the power to dispose of the assets as set forth in that will.

In Michigan, probate is a legal process undertaken after a person’s death to settle their last will and testament. Probate can determine the validity of a will and ensure its execution, or, if there is no will, appoint an executor to oversee the disbursement of assets. The size and complexity of a deceased individual’s estate will likely be the primary factors in determining the length of time and amount of money spent on the probate process, but recent changes in Michigan have made it so that smaller estates are subject to far less probate regulation than they were previously.
