Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
My Father has a Michigan bank account without naming a beneficiary. He left a will, and named his wife and son a sucessor trustee. The Bank indicated that we need to get a documnent from the court that allows us to close the account. What would this document be?

I am sorry for your loss. Because your father left a probate asset, probate is needed. Depending on the value of all items left in his name only, there are two forms of probate: regular and one day small estate. I would be happy to discuss both with you and help you with obtaining the letter of authority or order of distribution of assets.

Mr. Klisz is correct. The bank is seeking a "letter of authority". You will obtain this document when you open a probate estate at the County Probate Court. I would be like to help you process the will and open the estate. Please contact me to discuss procedure and cost. 888-988-LAWS(5297) or [email protected]
