I am sorry that you are getting a divorce after such a lengthy marriage, and against your will. However, in Michigan, it is a no-fault state and therefore if he wants a divorce, you will have to put up with it. You have a right to a distribution of the property and that will be done during the divorce proceedings.

I had a will made out and I put one of my daughter's middle name on it instead of her maiden last would that make a different?

Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Very unlikely to create a problem. Names change from time to time. It is the relationship that is important. Presumably, your nominated personal rep will know who your daughter is. They may add an "also known as" in the probate documents to cover this, but it should not otherwise be an issue at all.

If a trust is written without stating previous will void, which is binding?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Generally, trusts do not revoke wills. A trust agreement or declaration of trust governs assets in the trust only. A will governs assets subject to a will. Trust assets usually are not subject to a will.
