Is probate lengthy or hard? Wouldn't it be good, to leave her checking account open so medicare and champus (sp?) can be auto-paid?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Probate is not that terrible. Besides, no probate is necessary if her total assets subject to probate are less than $150,000.

What are my options to get the property of my mother who passed away in 2003?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You must file probate in order to transfer the property. Your siblings can assign you their interest if they want you to have it.

How can I cash the check that is payable on my grandmother's real estate?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Under Michigan law, there is an easy solution for this. You need an Affidavit of Decedent's Successor form, PC 598. You can Google this and you will find the form. It can only be done 30 days after the date of death. The form needs to be notarized, as well. You take the form, the check and a certified copy of the death certificate to the bank and voila!, problem solved.
