What are my rights as the heir to my grandfather's estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Isaac David Shutt (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
First, I would make certain that a will has not been probated or that an estate has not been opened. Generally, the county clerk can tell you if a will has been probated. After the county clerk confirms nothing has been done to settle either of the estates, I suggest you contact an attorney. You will basically need the help of an attorney to open back-to-back estate administrations for your father and grandfather. Note that this could be fairly expensive to do. Although the estate generally pays for the cost of administration (court costs, attorney fees, etc.), this could be a challenge if you don't have possession of any of the estate property.

Yes, it would almost certainly have an impact. Your mother really should see an estate planning attorney to determine how best to proceed.

If you were not married to him - and if he did not leave a will naming you, chances are you will not be entitled to receive anything from his estate. Michigan does not recognize "common law" marriages - so you are just a "friend" and without a will, you get nothing.
