Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

Contract to avoid claim to estate

My father now has a girlfriend that may move in his house. What type of document does he need to have her sign so that she has no claim on his estate, even if oneday they should marry, and in addition she is to leave the estate within a year of his death?

Re: Contract to avoid claim to estate

There is no such thing. As long as she is not on the deed, listed on the account, etc., it would be up to your father to include her in a will.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
