MI Form PC 561, which may also referred to as Waiver/consent, is a probate form in Michigan. It is used by executors, personal representatives, trustees, guardians & other related parties during the probate & estate settlement process.

If the estate's value is under the ?small estates? limit in Michigan, you can use a simplified probate procedure, called a ?summary probate.? You don't need a court hearing in front of a judge ? you only need to file simple forms and wait a certain amount of time before distributing the assets.

File the form, the decedent's will (if there is one), and a certified copy of the death certificate with the county probate court where the decedent lived. If the decedent did not live in Michigan but owned real property in Michigan, file the documents in the county where the real property is located.

How do you start the Probate process in Michigan? Probate must go through the county Probate Court in which the decedent resided at the time of their death. Once you determine whether you need a formal or informal probate proceeding, you need to file a petition with the county Probate Court to get the process started.
