Commonly Asked Estate Planning Questions From Users Near You

Could he, as a third party, delay the proceedings with a caveat or lawsuit if he believed he was entitled to compensation from the deceased?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
In Michigan, there is no Caveat procedure. If he was due something from the decedent, he could file a claim against the estate. The Personal Representative would then need to either accept or deny the claim. If the claim is denied, the claimant would need to file a lawsuit against the estate within 63 days or the claim would be barred. He would not be considered an interested person of the estate and he would not have the right to notice, and he would otherwise not have standing. His sole remedy under Michigan law would be to file a claim. Good luck with the book!

How do I get half of whatever money my family member left?

Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
Well, it depends on your relation to the decedent. If you are an heir at law, and your sister was actually appointed by a court as the personal representative or special administrator, you should have received notice in the mail of those happenings. A personal representative has a legal duty to prepare an inventory of the estate of the decedent and all beneficiaries should get a copy of that. If the personal rep hasn't done this, you can file a petition in court demanding an inventory and/or requesting removal of the personal rep. An experienced attorney can assist you in determining your rights and best options.
