ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- The process of settling a loved one's estate after death can be overwhelming. A critical part of that process is determining who should serve as the personal representative, the individual legally responsible for managing the estate through Michigan's probate system.

According to Pear Sperling Eggan & Daniels, P.C., a leading estate planning attorney in Ann Arbor (https://www.psedlaw.com/practice/areas/estate-p...), the state follows a defined order of priority for who can be appointed—starting with those named in a will, and moving through surviving spouses, heirs, creditors, and public administrators.

"Even when a will exists, questions about who qualifies or who should be appointed can quickly lead to conflict," said Sarah Meinhart, estate planning attorney in Ann Arbor at Pear Sperling Eggan & Daniels, P.C. "That's why we urge individuals to not only name a personal representative in their estate plans but to seek legal guidance to avoid complications down the road."
