What Happens If You Die Without a Will in Michigan? (Episode 319)

In today’s episode of Tuesday with Tom, we’re diving into what really happens if you die without a Will in Michigan. Who gets your assets? What if you have no close family? I’ll walk you through the State’s Intestate Succession laws and explain why having a Will — even a simple one — can save your loved ones time, money, and stress. Plus, I’ll share how Amanda and I can help you create or update your estate plan, and the convenient ways you can get started.

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.520
Good afternoon, Michigan Anders. It's Tuesday, May thirteen, twenty twenty five,

2
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.600
and that means it's time for another episode of Tuesday

3
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.439
with Tom, Michigan's only Internet show where you get answers

4
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.159
to your questions about a state planning and a state

5
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.200
settlement right here in the Great Lake State, and we

6
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.119
don't send you a bill. I'm your host, Tom Doyle,

7
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.399
a state planning attorney, lifelong Michigan resident, and a proud

8
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:05.400
ambassador for everything good about our beautiful state. Thanks for

9
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.280
joining me today. Well, last episode living trust, what they

10
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.319
are and why you might need one. So if you're

11
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.959
thinking about having a living trust as part of your

12
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.519
state plan, I invite you listen to the last episode

13
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.359
that you can find at Tuesday buttime dot com, where

14
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.200
I talk about what living trusts are and discuss when

15
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.400
people might need to have them as part of their

16
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.439
state plan. Today's show what happens if you die without

17
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.079
a will in Michigan. It's a very common question that

18
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.840
we get from clients all the time. If I don't

19
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:54.680
have a will, what will happen to my estate when

20
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.239
I die? And that is what we're going to spend

21
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:13.719
some talking time. If you will talking about in today's episode.

22
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.599
So what happens if you.

23
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.000
Die without a will in Michigan. Well, if you die

24
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.759
without a will in Michigan, we're going to be talking

25
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.919
about you have died in test state. That's what that

26
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.439
refers to, as someone who dies whether it will. So

27
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.680
what is dying in testate? Well, when someone dies without

28
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:40.240
a valid will, again, that's called dying in testa. That

29
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.599
means you did not legally express how you want your

30
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.879
money and property distributed or who should be in charge

31
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:53.240
of handling your estate. So in Michigan, if that happens,

32
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.840
the state has a plan for you, and it's called

33
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.479
Michigan's intestate succession laws.

34
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.479
But here's the catch.

35
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:10.479
Michigan's plan for you might be very different from what

36
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.719
you have wanted. In fact, during my forty plus years

37
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.080
now of practicing law, I can only think of one time,

38
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.919
one time out of all those thousands of clients that

39
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.560
we've assisted with the state plans, where what the State

40
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.919
of Michigan's plan under interstate succession for a client actually

41
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:40.439
matched what the client wanted. So under Michigan's state succession rule,

42
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.280
who gets what? Well, let's look at some common scenarios

43
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.919
if you will. One, you're married with no kids. Well,

44
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.360
if you're married with no kids, you might think that

45
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.680
your spouse will automatically get everything. That's what most clients

46
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.319
would think. I married and I die, I don't have kids,

47
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.680
everything can go to my spouse. Well, in fact, under

48
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.639
Michigan law, if your parents are still alive one or

49
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.840
two both parents are still alive, they in fact might

50
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.879
also get a cut of your estate because under Michigan law,

51
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.439
your spouse gets the first one hundred and fifty thousand

52
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:31.160
plus half of the remainder and anything that other half

53
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:37.519
of the remainder would then go to your parents. Again,

54
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.560
not what most clients would think and would want to

55
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.800
have happened, and that can also cause problems. Think about this,

56
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.319
maybe one of your parents is on Medicaid and now

57
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.160
they receive an inheritance from you at the time of

58
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:59.639
your death. It could end up disqualifying them from receiving

59
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.800
Medicaid benefits.

60
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.160
Another scenario, you're married with kids.

61
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.199
Again, most clients that we work with, when Amanda and

62
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.399
I are talking to them, if they're married and they

63
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.680
have kids, they will say something like, look, if I die,

64
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.399
I want my estate to go to my spouse, and

65
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.360
then when we both died, then we want the estate

66
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.839
to go to our children. Well, again, under Michigan's into

67
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.079
state succession rules, your spouse gets the first one hundred

68
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:36.079
and fifty thousand and half of the remaining estate, and

69
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:44.199
the other half of that estate goes to your children. Now,

70
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.279
when I talk about these numbers one hundred and fifty

71
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:53.279
thousand dollars, essentially there is an escalation because of inflation

72
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.600
factor under the statute, So we would to be sure,

73
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.480
we'd really have to look at what is that number

74
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.600
going to be at the time of your death. But

75
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:07.360
we're using the beginning numbers, not the inflated numbers for inflation.

76
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.839
But again the idea, the important part is you're married

77
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:12.560
with kids.

78
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:14.879
Depending upon the size.

79
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.399
Of your estate, not necessarily everything is going to go

80
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.000
to your spouse. In fact, some of it might end

81
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.519
up going to your children. And it doesn't matter if

82
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.439
they're adults or if they're miners. And if they're miners

83
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.079
and they now are going to receive an estate from you,

84
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.959
there may well likely have to be a conservator appointed

85
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.240
by the probate court to receive.

86
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.839
And manage that estate for them.

87
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.680
Another scenario, you have children.

88
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.160
But no spouse.

89
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.759
Well, in that case, under Michigan law, your children will

90
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:02.639
inherit everything divided equally, and that would include adopted children

91
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:07.920
if you've adopted any children, but it does not include stepchildren.

92
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:13.079
So if you die without a spouse and you have children,

93
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.560
and you have stepchildren, and you wanted your stepchildren to

94
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:24.120
receive part of your estate, that's not happening under Michigan law,

95
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:29.439
unless you were to adopt them, or you made sure

96
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:36.160
that you did not die into state. Another example, you

97
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.000
have no spouse, no kids, no parents.

98
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.000
You don't have anyone.

99
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.279
Naturally in that order, and that basically means no spouse,

100
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.319
no kids, no grandkids, no parents, et cetera. Well, now

101
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.800
here's what's going to start happening.

102
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.560
It's going to go down the line.

103
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.240
So what the law basically says is you would start

104
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.959
by saying, all right, go up a generation to parents.

105
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.040
But you don't have parents, so now you come down

106
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.879
to your siblings. So the estate would end up going

107
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.360
to your siblings. If you don't have siblings, or you

108
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.879
have a deceased sibling, then that deceased siblings share, or

109
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.160
if no siblings, then we're gonna talk. I mean, if

110
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:23.360
you've had siblings, but maybe they've all predeceased you too, well,

111
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.519
then nieces and nephews are going to be involved.

112
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.959
So if you think about I tell clients to think

113
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:29.160
of it.

114
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.920
As like a Christmas tree. We're starting to come down.

115
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.120
We kind of had my parents at the top. We're

116
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.000
coming down to my siblings, We're coming down to nieces

117
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.120
and nephews, et cetera. And so that's kind of this

118
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.120
whole idea of this Christmas tree that I tell clients.

119
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:51.039
But let's say you're an only child, so you don't

120
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:56.120
have siblings, and your parents were only children, so there

121
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.360
are no aunts and uncles involved, and so they're is

122
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:07.919
literally no one in line to inherit your estate. In

123
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:15.799
that case, the entire estate goes to, guess it, the

124
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.279
star on top of the tree, which is the state

125
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.840
of Michigan. And unfortunately, many clients find themselves in that

126
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.320
situation today. They are only children of only children, and

127
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.559
so there are no other relatives to receive the estate,

128
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:38.120
and in that case, the estate would all go to

129
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:44.000
the state of Michigan. And seldom do we ever have

130
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.480
clients who look at us and say, hey, I want

131
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.960
my estate to go to the state of Michigan when

132
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:56.039
I die. Another consideration, who's going to be in charge

133
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:56.759
of your estate?

134
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.679
Well, without a will?

135
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.960
Into state succession statutes in the state of Michigan say

136
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.919
that it's the probate court who will appoint someone to

137
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:13.799
be what's called your personal representative. So there's a statute

138
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:20.240
that says who is in line to become that personal representative.

139
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:25.120
That might not be a person that you want to

140
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.320
be in charge, that might not be a person that

141
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.919
would be a good person to be in charge. And

142
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.960
so now you might have a fight amongst your amongst

143
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.840
your surviving family members in court over who it is

144
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.080
that should be placed in charge of settling your state.

145
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.120
And if you notice all of this that I just

146
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:54.279
said points out another glaring fact about into state succession,

147
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:59.919
and that means your estate is going through probate.

148
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.519
Many clients, when we talk to them.

149
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.360
About their goals if you will on their estate plan,

150
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.720
one of the goals many many clients have is to

151
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:18.879
avoid probate. Well, interstate succession has your estate going through probate.

152
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.080
One more thing, though, what about minor children? So you

153
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.440
have minor children and you die without having put an

154
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.799
estate in place, and now your state is going to

155
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:39.559
pass to those minor children by interstate succession. The other

156
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.279
problem that you have, though, is that by not having

157
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.399
an estate in place, a state plan in place, and

158
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.320
quite frankly this would be where a will comes in place,

159
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:56.080
you have not named a guardian for your minor children.

160
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.639
You have not decided who they're going to live with

161
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.799
if you die. In fact, it's Amanda and I have

162
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.720
the situation quite often where we will have a young

163
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.320
person sitting across the table from us during a consultation

164
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.200
and they will look in and say, you know, I

165
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.440
don't know why I'm even doing an estate plan because

166
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.960
I don't own anything, or we don't own anything. All

167
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.639
we have is a six month old baby. Well, the

168
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.440
fact of the matter is that's the most important decision

169
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.279
that you now have to make, and that is who

170
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.159
is going to raise that six month old baby, or

171
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:40.639
who is going to raise your minor children if you

172
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:46.759
die again, If you haven't designated that in a will,

173
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.759
then it's going to be the probate court who's going

174
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:54.399
to make that call. And yes, probate courts, the judge

175
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.960
is going to try and pick someone who seems suitable,

176
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.039
but it might not be the person that you would

177
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:06.639
have chosen, and unfortunately, in too many families, it could

178
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:12.200
trigger family disputes. Let's say you and your spouse have

179
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.519
both died and you have minor children. You might be

180
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.799
setting it up where each of your respective families, your

181
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:25.320
family or spouse's family are going to be arguing that

182
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.519
they are the ones who are in the best position

183
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:32.480
to raise the minor children. And you could have avoided

184
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:37.879
all of that by having an appropriate will in place

185
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:43.360
in which you named who the guardians would be that

186
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:50.320
would be raising those children. So review some of the

187
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:55.159
key takeaways from this conversation today about what happens if you.

188
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:57.399
Die with it without a will. In Michigan.

189
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:01.840
One, the state is going to decide who get your property,

190
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.960
and again, it might not be who you choose to

191
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.559
the probate court will decide who's going to be in

192
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:15.480
charge of the process of settling year state. Again, that

193
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.919
might not be the person that you would choose, and

194
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:25.440
it might lead to family drama. Another takeaway, you lose

195
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.960
the opportunity to make any specific gifts, so you might

196
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.720
be thinking, well, I really want this particular asset to

197
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:39.320
go to this particular individual. You're losing that opportunity because

198
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.960
the State of Michigan has already decided where the estate's

199
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.679
going to go to, and they're not going to be

200
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.399
concerned about specific gifts.

201
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:47.840
It might be.

202
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:51.080
In fact, you might have thought, I want something to go,

203
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.159
let's say to my step children, but the state of

204
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.799
Michigan doesn't give your estate to your step children. Or

205
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.720
maybe you have some charitable interest. I want a certain

206
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.960
amount to my state to go to my church or

207
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.960
go to the American Red Cross, whatever it is. The

208
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.039
State of Michigan won't do any of that. Why because

209
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.919
at the end of the day, if there's nobody take

210
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:12.480
your state, who gets it that would be the state

211
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.120
of Michigan. So you're losing the opportunity to maker specific gifts,

212
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.480
You're losing the opportunity to avoid probate, and you could

213
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.759
be losing the opportunity to protect a loved one's inherence.

214
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:31.120
And most importantly, most importantly for many clients, you lose

215
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:40.159
the chance to name guardians for your children. So those

216
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:45.799
are all the things that could happen that will happen

217
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:53.159
if you die without a will in Michigan and your

218
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:58.480
state is now going to be subject to into state succession. Now,

219
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.440
there are a lot of ways to avoid it. One, obviously,

220
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.080
is to have a will, because if you have a will,

221
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.279
that will is saying this is where I want my

222
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.360
estate to go to. That will is saying this is

223
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.279
who I want to be in charge of my estate.

224
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.480
That will is also going to say who it is

225
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.440
that you would want to be the guardians of your

226
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.320
minor children. So all of those things can be accomplished

227
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.519
simply by having a will. What can't be accomplished simply

228
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:34.519
by having a will, though, is if one of your

229
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.080
goals is to avoid probate. We've had a lot of

230
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.360
discussion in previous episodes of Tuesday with Tom about why

231
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:46.480
wills do not avoid probate, and if one of your

232
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.200
goals is to have an estate plan that's going to

233
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.480
avoid probate, you would learn if you have not listened

234
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.960
to any previous episodes, that having a will in Michigan

235
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:28.160
is not a probate avoidance strategy. So if you don't

236
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.519
have a will, or your will is outdated, obviously the

237
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.559
best time to fix it is today and a man

238
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.440
and I would be truly honored to help you protect

239
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.960
your loved ones, whether it means creating a brand new

240
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.599
estate plan and a new will for you, or updating

241
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.799
and existing one, or guiding you through the estate settlement

242
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.519
