Married folks note: ‘The Demise of Dower – State Bar of Michigan’

Every year I give feedback to people AFTER there has been a life changing event in their family. I strongly recommend that everyone who buys/ sells/ marries/ has children, etc, 13975257_547728985400158_1961526686294140869_o[1]seek a consultation asap with (at a minimum):

  1. Legal counselor
  2. Insurance agent
  3. Real estate/ tax consultant
  4. Estate planner

‘Dower rights’ have changed in MI. A widows automatic 1/3 interest in her husbands real estate will be altered in April of 2017.

Plan accordingly.
