Estate OVER $24,000: If a Wayne County resident has died leaving property in their name only and the property is over $24,000, the closest relative or person named in the will may file a petition to have the estate probated.
If the estate's value is under the “small estates” limit in Michigan, you can use a simplified probate procedure, called a “summary probate.” You don't need a court hearing in front of a judge — you only need to file simple forms and wait a certain amount of time before distributing the assets.
In Michigan, estates valued at less than $24,000 (as of 2021) may qualify for a simplified, smaller estate process. Estates above this value generally require formal probate proceedings. This threshold can change, so it's advisable to consult current legal standards or an attorney for the latest information.
