Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are typically included in an estate plan in Michigan?
A basic Michigan estate plan usually includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, a patient advocate designation, and a living will or advance directive. For larger estates, a revocable living trust may also be recommended to avoid probate.
How does Michigan probate work for Royal Oak residents?
Michigan probate is handled by the Oakland County Probate Court for Royal Oak residents. If a person dies with a will, the court oversees the process of validating the will and distributing assets. Without a will, Michigan intestacy laws determine who inherits property, which can delay the process.
What is the Michigan estate tax threshold for 2025?
Michigan does not impose a state-level estate tax or inheritance tax as of 2025. However, federal estate tax applies to estates valued over approximately $13.61 million for individuals. A Royal Oak attorney can help plan for federal tax liability if your estate approaches this limit.
