Losing a loved one is hard enough. The probate process can feel confusing, time-consuming, and stressful. Most people have never done this before—and aren’t sure where to start. That’s where we come in. At Miracle Law, we guide families through every step of the probate process clearly, compassionately, and at a price you can actually plan for, so you can focus on what matters most.
Probate is the court-supervised process of settling a person’s estate after death. This can include:
Even in straightforward cases, probate involves strict procedures and legal responsibilities. Mistakes can delay the process or create liability for the personal representative. The good news is you don’t have to figure this out alone.
In Michigan, most estates worth more than $53,000 must go through some form of the probate process. It can take anywhere from several months to over a year, and it involves paperwork, deadlines, court filings, and decisions that carry real legal weight.
If you're the personal representative (executor) of an estate, that responsibility lands on you. We're here to make sure you don't carry it alone.
Here’s what the process typically looks like:
We tailor our involvement based on your needs:
We handle everything–from court filings to final distribution.
Already appointed? We help you stay compliant and avoid mistakes.
Only need help with specific steps? We offer flexible options so you're not overpaying.
Most law firms treat probate like a transaction. We don’t.
We explain everything — in plain English. You shouldn't need a law degree to understand what's happening with your loved one's estate. We walk you through every step, every form, and every decision before it's made.
We're honest, even when it's hard. Our clients consistently tell us that what sets us apart is our straightforwardness. We won't tell you what you want to hear — we'll tell you what you need to know.
We offer fixed pricing — no surprise bills. Probate is stressful enough. Hourly billing that adds up behind the scenes shouldn't make it worse. Our fixed-price model means you know exactly what you're paying before we start.
We're award-recognized, locally trusted.
In many cases, probate can be minimized—or even avoided—with proper planning.
Michigan law has default rules about who inherits when someone passes without a will or trust. These are called intestacy laws — and they may not reflect what your loved one actually wanted. Without a plan in place:
Proper planning avoids all of this. But if you're already in this situation, we can help you navigate what comes next.
We’ll meet you where you are—and guide you forward.
