Michigan Probate Sourcebook, Third Edition

Critical Information All in One Place

Every tool is in reach in this one resource: EPIC, the Michigan Trust Code, the probate court rules (and relevant civil rules), portions of the Revised Judicature Act, the Uniform Principal and Income Act, miscellaneous statutes related to probate and older adults, and more.

With this set, you will be able to:

• Authoritatively answer clients' questions and prepare briefs for court
• Stop hunting for critical but tangential information: COLA numbers, case classification codes, fee schedules, legal newspapers, and more
• Find practice support in the list of organizations serving elders

Spica (Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities, Personal Property Trust Perpetuities Act, Powers of Appointment Act of 1967, and Uniform Power of Attorney Act).
