False. You can draft an estate plan at any age, though it’s best to start the process when you start accruing substantive assets for yourself and would like to direct to whom they go.
False. If you die without a will, your property and assets pass into what is called intestate succession. This is a process whereby the state decides which family members will receive the property and in what amount.
False. Probate may be necessary in certain cases, even if a person died with a will. In situations where a will is contested or if a person dies with property in their own name, then probate proceedings may be necessary.
False. You should have an estate plan in place regardless of the size of your wealth. The state of Michigan allows individuals to create small estate plans that can help ease the legal burdens handled by loved ones after someone passes away.
False. Unless your estate never changes and you go through no major life events such as the death of a beneficiary or marriage – which is highly unlikely in most cases – then you should consider speaking with an estate planning lawyer about making updates to your will.
