Deliver copies to the successor trustee and those entitled to notice, and turn over trust property and records.
A successor trustee uses this form to formally accept appointment as trustee of a Michigan trust, so banks and title companies can recognize their authority.
An affidavit of heirship is a sworn statement of a deceased person’s family history identifying the legal heirs. Title companies and institutions use it, often with a probate or small estate procedure.
A certification of trust is a short summary that proves a trust exists and who may act for it, without revealing beneficiaries or other private terms. Banks and title companies rely on it.
Michigan lets a decedent’s successor (spouse, child, heir, or devisee) collect bank accounts, vehicles, and other personal property of a small estate with a sworn affidavit, without probate court (MCL 700.3983).
