Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

Re: wills/trust

I would probably need more info to answer the question, but without a will or trust, your husband would not collect from a birth parent if he has been adopted. Contact me at www.kliszlaw.com to up over in detail. Tim Klisz

Re: wills/trust

Your husband is not entitled to what he normally would be under the law since he was adopted and is not considered his natural mother's "heir." However, if she left him something specifically in her will or trust, then he is entitled to whatever she provided in it.

If the natural mother is alive, then he's not entitled to anything until she passes. Encourage him to have his natural mother have her will/trust drafted by a lawyer, so that it is done properly and the other family members do not dispute it later on, especially since he will have less standing as a non-natural heir.

I can assist the natural mother if she needs documents drafted.

Thanks.
