County public administrators (CPAs) have oversight responsibilities in deceased estate probate matters where there are no heirs or unknown heirs and no will. State law defines who is considered an heir. If a person dies and has no living relatives and leaves no will, then the CPA is appointed by the county probate judge to be the personal representative of the estate. The CPA ensures all bills are paid and the remaining estate assets are sent to the Michigan Department of Treasury on behalf of the people of the State of Michigan.
CPAs have primary private practice responsibilities outside of their appointment and their limited responsibility as a public administrator is outlined above.
The Attorney General's website maintains a CPAs contact list.
