Adapt your practice to the latest Michigan Court of Appeals fiduciary litigation decisions. Change how you title real property in separate maintenance judgments, draft will provisions on nonprobate asset distribution, and successfully support your assertion of undue influence. Identify beneficiary behavior that could terminate the family cottage trust and avoid personal liability for failing to make productive use of trust property.
Watch and learn to:
- Clarify the settlor's intent to eliminate the need for extrinsic evidence
- Claim a hardship exemption effectively in an estate recovery case
- Prioritize secured creditor claims against the estate
- Title nonprobate assets consistent with the decedent's transfer-on-death intentions
