What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
No, probate is not automatic. Venue is appropriate in the state where the decedent was domiciled at the time of death. There can be issues in determining which state that is. Once that has been clarified, an interested party files an application or petition for probate. If your father died in another state and there are no assets there, you can open probate in Michigan, in the county where there are assets. If he was married, the wife would have priority for appointment as personal representative. Feel free to visit my website. I have a detailed description of the probate process posted there. I am very sorry for your loss.

You should speak with an attorney in the state of residence of the Decedent. Also if he owned real property in another state an attorney there should be consulted. Without more details the response to your question would have many alternatives and outcomes. Best of luck to you.
