answered on Sep 28, 2022
Depending on how the deed to the real estate is drafted, it might have to go through probate. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local probate attorney who can review the deed and re-open the probate case to transfer the property if that is necessary.
My brother is not included in his previous will, and I want to protect his rightful inheritance.

If the probate court were to appoint a family member as his guardian, that would terminate her POA. The probate court could also determine if he was competent when he made a new will or whether there was coercion, undue influence, or other improper pressure to change the will. Use the Find a...

With land in MI, her Heirs take, which will be her issue surviving and her surviving Spouse, all as Tenants In Common. Hire a MI attorney to search the Title, determine Heirs and record an Affidavit of Heirship, unless there is a Probate. The former will be the Heirs' recorded source of title.

Depending on the value of her estate, you might be able to complete this via affidavit. If not, then you would have to open a succession. I would recommend that you hire a succession/probate attorney to do this----it is not worth a title issue in the future because it's not done right at... Read more »
It's been 3 months. The main thing I remember him saying is "if there is no will, there is no reason to open a probate". What does that mean? If I engage another lawyer can he bill me?
answered on Sep 27, 2022
You can always hire another attorney but when you do, be sure to let the first attorney know that he has been fired so he does not keep working on your file (assuming he is working on it). As a general rule, attorneys cannot bill for services NOT provided, but there are subtle exceptions. Your... Read more »

It's not the answer you're going to want to hear, but it depends on many other factors. Probate can be very complicated. I highly recommend sitting down with an attorney to review the situation in detail and advising you.
Best of luck.
