When someone files to be appointed as a personal representative of an estate in Michigan, not everyone agrees with the choice. Fortunately, Michigan law gives “interested persons” the right to object. But who qualifies—and on what grounds?
Interested persons include heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, and others with a stake in the estate. They may object if the proposed representative is unqualified, biased, or improperly nominated. Common reasons for objection include felony convictions, conflicts of interest, or allegations of misconduct.
