Michigan Petition And Order For Discovery Estate Not Exceeding $15,000 is a legal document used in the state of Michigan that allows a person to petition the court for a discovery of an estate not exceeding $15,000. This form allows a person to request the court to order an estate to provide the petitioner with information concerning the assets and liabilities of the estate. The petitioner can also request the court to order the estate to provide the petitioner with an accounting of the estate. The petitioner must provide the court with detailed information on the estate, including the name of the deceased, the date of death, the county where the estate is located, and the names and addresses of any heirs. The petition should also explain the petitioner's relationship to the deceased, as well as the petitioner's reasons for requesting the discovery. The petition can be used for multiple types of discovery requests including: 1. Inventory: A list of assets and liabilities of the estate 2. Appraisal: An estimate of the value of the assets and liabilities of the estate 3. Accounting: A detailed report of all transactions involving the estate 4. Distributions: A list of all distributions from the estate The court will review the petition and determine if the requested discovery is appropriate for an estate not exceeding $15,000. If the court approves the petition, it will issue an Order for Discovery, which details the estate's obligations to provide the petitioner with the requested information. It is important to note that the Order for Discovery does not guarantee that the requested information will be provided; the estate may still choose to withhold certain information.
