Q: Probate court issued a bench arrent for me, I need to know the best way to get it cleared up?
The warrant is for failure to file an accounting form. I did try to reach out to the court about help with filing the form and no return response. Nonetheless it didn't get filed. So now I have a bench warrant with an $11,000 bond no 10%. I need to get it cleared up. I tried to contact the court and ask them. They had no answer for me, the new guardian that filed the order didn't have answer for me. Can you help?

A: Hire a competent MI attorney to draft your final accounting. File it and serve it on all interested parties. Then your lawyer takes you to Probate Court and asks to to set aside the capias since you have finally filed the required accounting. You may need to put your own money in the distribution to make it come out, which will be better than contempt jail and a probable criminal charge.
