Michigan Notice to Creditors, Decedent's Estate is a legal document that is used to inform creditors of the death of the decedent and to provide them with the necessary information to make a claim against the decedent's estate. The notice is published in a newspaper and is sent to all known creditors of the decedent, including those listed in the decedent's will or trust. The notice contains the name of the decedent, date of death, contact information for the estate representative, instructions on how to file a claim, and a deadline for submitting claims. The notice also informs creditors that failure to file a claim within the specified time frame may result in the creditor forfeiting their right to any assets of the decedent's estate. There are two types of Michigan Notice to Creditors, Decedent's Estate: the Small Estate Notice and the Formal Estate Notice. The Small Estate Notice is used when the value of the decedent's assets is less than $25,000 and the Formal Estate Notice is used when the value of the decedent's assets is more than $25,000. Both types of notices must be filed with the probate court in the county where the decedent resided.
