Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
Non updated will
A Michigan man, 74, marries a Michigan woman 60, in 2001, both go in 2001 and make out wills. Woman leaves her condo to nephew, figuring husband would die before her, but stating that if she died first husband could live there till he died. In 2003 she sold condo and bought a home, in 2005 she sold home and bought condo. She died 3 weeks later. The will stipulates that the nephew gets first condo which no longer exists. Husband was told will is null and void and he inherits condo because he is husband, is this true? Nephew is executor of the will, suddenly he calls man and tell him that they have to go to probate and says nothing more, in meantime the womans last bills are not being paid and man is getting very aggitated as bills were to be paid with money she had in bank, which is in nephews name as well as life insurance. The condo is in the womans name only.Do you have any input on this situation? Thank you for your time...

Re: Non updated will
Sounds like you may need a probate attorney. Absent the will stating otherwise, the husband is the primary heir at law. The husband in certain circumstances will have to share with the issue (children) of the decedent. For more info., please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
