Q: Hi I have received probate paperwork and was identified as an heir. There is no will. House in deceased name only.
State of michigan. I received probate paperwork and was identified as an heir. App for informal probate/appt of personal rep, testimony to identify heirs, registers statement, acceptance of appointment, notice of appointment and duties of personal representative (which is my step mother), notice to creditors. My dad died suddenly 2 years ago. There is no will. He purchased his home when I was a child before he and my step mom married and her name is not on the deed. I received all this paperwork and want to have a clear understanding of what I'm dealing with.
