Description

Ideally, no distributions to the beneficiaries under the will should be make until the estate is closed and closing letters received from the Internal Revenue Service and the State Tax Commission if estate tax returns were filed. This is not always possible, particularly in light of the fact that it generally takes a minimum of nine months to get a closing letter from the IRS. Beneficiaries are usually not that patient. The earliest an executor can close an estate is after the time to probate claims has expired and no claims have been probated. This is generally possible in estates that dont require estate tax returns, particularly when surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary.


After the time for probating claims against the estate has expired and estate taxes have been paid, a partial distribution to the beneficiaries may be in order, particularly if there are no unpaid claims outstanding against the estate and the closing attorney is comfortable that the estate tax return will be accepted by the IRS as filed. In any event the executor and closing attorney should hold back enough cash from the distribution to pay for the remaining expenses of administration and to pay for any estate taxes that may be assessed by the IRS.

FAQ

Probate in Michigan can take about 7 months, whether it is supervised or unsupervised. You can expect a longer probate period in certain circumstances. These can include the size of the estate, length of time it takes to locate a will, personal representative, or heirs, disputes with creditors, and will contests.

Generally, once an individual has passed, a process known as Probate must be completed to distribute their estate. Once the Court has granted probate, the Executor can finalise the estate by paying any debts and expenses, before allocating any gifts to beneficiaries.

Generally, beneficiaries have to wait a certain amount of time, say at least six months. That time is used to allow creditors to come forward and to pay them off with the estate assets. (In some cases, an executor may make partial distributions to the heirs after he or she estimates the debts.

Simple estates might be settled within six months. Complex estates, those with a lot of assets or assets that are complex or hard to value can take several years to settle. If an estate tax return is required, the estate might not be closed until the IRS indicates its acceptance of the estate tax return.

Although Michigan does not stipulate a legal timeframe, filing a probate petition as soon as possible will be in everybody's best interests. The probate process takes a minimum of five months in Michigan, but most probate cases take between six months and a full year. In contested cases, probate may take far longer.

Closing the Estate The estate must be open for at least five months. Required notice to creditors must be published at least four months before closing.

If the estate is not settled within a year of the first personal representative's appointment, file a Notice of Continued Administration with the court stating why the estate must remain open. A copy of this notice must be given to all interested persons.

When can I close the estate and distribute the assets? A final account and petition for distribution can be filed by the Personal Representative when there are sufficient funds available to pay all debts and taxes, the time for filing creditors' claims has expired, and the estate is in a condition to be closed.
