Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Child custody

The mother of my son passed this week. I have let my son stay with his grandparents,her parents. I intended to allow this until after the funeral, but I am worried that they will not release him to me. I would like to know if I need to file a motion for custody? We live in Michigan.
