When a loved one dies, with or without a will, their estate may have to be probated. Probate is the process by which the estate's debts are settled and the assets distributed to the heirs. Our probate attorneys help settle the estate in a legal and timely manner. The Royal Oak law firm of Berkley Mengel PLC offers caring, thorough counsel and representation throughout the probate process.

To schedule a consultation regarding probate administration, intestate law succession, powers of attorney, conservatorships, or guardianships, contact us.

When no Will was Left Behind

If your family member did not leave any will behind, the State of Michigan has provided an intestacy statute that dictates how assets are to be distributed. The State's will may not be what the deceased person would have chosen. Our lawyers guide families through all phases of the probate administration after the loss of a family member. As in all practice areas of our law firm, we offer efficient, detailed, personalized service to our probate clients.

To plan for a smooth settling of your estate, or to administer a will or handle an intestate law succession, schedule a consultation with our Michigan probate attorneys. Contact us through this Web site or by phone.
