Michigan Sworn Closing Statement is a document used to close a real estate transaction and certify that all funds and documents have been exchanged and the transaction is complete. It includes the buyer and seller information, the purchase price, the closing date, and any other details related to the transaction. Summary Proceeding is a simplified legal process used to resolve small legal matters, such as eviction, foreclosure, and collection of debts. It is an expedited process that does not require a full trial and is used to resolve disputes quickly and efficiently. Small Estates is an estate that does not exceed a certain dollar amount or is below a certain asset value. Generally, this means that the gross estate does not exceed $15,000. The estate does not need to go through probate if it is a Small Estate. Michigan has a special procedure called Small Estate Affidavit to handle these cases. The Affidavit is a sworn statement in which the heirs of the deceased certify that the estate is small and list all assets and debts that should be taken into account.
