Hi, I'm Darren Findling of The Probate Pro. Walking you through the process of how to gain access to a small bank account or asset at a financial institution in which you do not need to hire a lawyer. And you do not need to go to the probate court to gain access to those funds. In Michigan, and in many states around the country, there is a process called a small estate or Affidavit of Successor in Interest process which allows you to fill out a single piece of paper, which I will provide to you free of no charge. You fill it out, you have to wait a certain amount after death... which in Michigan is 28 days. The asset amount has to be under a certain amount of money in Michigan for 2019 that's $23,000. You take that form to get notarized, you go to the bank and the money can be released under certain circumstances. If you're unsure how to use the form please do your research or contact an attorney so that they can help you through the process. In addition, there are other small estate processes without the necessity of hiring a lawyer in which you can gain access to financial assets that are being held at an institution in Michigan. You can do what's called a summary proceeding, in 2019, if the amount is less than $63,000, you can gain access to those funds without the need for a full probate administration. We call that a short form or small probate, summary proceeding. Again if you're unsure how to do this, contact my office for an attorney to help guide you through the process. We're going to provide those forms to you free of charge. You can get them through my website or the link below and we'll make sure that you gain access to them. Again, a small estate affidavit or small estate probate without the necessity of going through the full probate process. Easy, clean probate without the necessity of hiring a lawyer. There are certain limitations of course... if there's real estate or if there are complications. And there's other rules relating to the use of these forms. So please read carefully or contact my and we'll guide you through the process. Call (833) PROBATE if you've got questions or visit us at TheProbatePro.com.
