Michigan Man Freezes to Death | Estate Plan Leaves $600,000 to Hospital

A 93 year old Bay City, Michigan man passed away because he was in arrears on his electric bill and froze to death when the power company shut off his power last month.

It turns out Marvin Schur has left $600,000 to the Bay Regional Medical Center in his will.  While his death happened under odd and unfortunate circumstances his Michigan estate plan makes sense and shows the good a person can do through Michigan estate planning.

Mr. Schur was an Army medic who was saving lives during his service.  His nephew states in the Detroit Free Press article “He led a nice life, except for his tragic ending. With his contribution to the hospital, he’ll still be helping people save lives. He’ll be doing it in death.”
