How probate works in Michigan
Probate is a state-court process for administering a deceased person's estate. In Michigan, probate cases are filed in the county-level probate or district court depending on jurisdiction. Affidavits of heirship and executor's deeds are typically filed in the county clerk's deed records, separate from the probate case file itself.
Probate.Report aggregates both layers — probate court filings and deed-record filings that reference probate — into a single search.
