Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

Re: Can I Find Out If My Dad Left A Will?

If a will exists, you should first check with the probate court in the county in which he resided. They are sometimes given wills for safekeeping by the testator(the person making the will). If they don't have a copy of a will, I would next check to see if a probate proceeding has been started for your father. If not, you may want to consider petitioning for probate yourself. If there is a will that turns up, and you have been disinherited, you will need to contest the will. This is more difficult than it seems, the court will give the presumption that the will reflects the testator's intent. for more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
