"How Long does a Michigan Probate take to complete?" Many of our clients ask how long the process will take. Just like the good lawyer I am, I answer "it depends." What I do know is that at the very earliest the process will take at least 5 months after appointment of a persona representative.
There is quite a bit going on during those 5 months, which is the earliest not the average time of a Michigan probate of an estate. In that time a personal representative is appointed, notice is sent to interested parties, claims period runs with newspaper publication, etc.
One of the reasons many of our clients opt for a living trust based Michigan estate plan is to avoid the Michigan probate system. Our clients do not want to be involved in the lengthy, time consuming Michigan probate system.
