Terms Used In Michigan Laws 700.3903

  • Estate: includes the property of the decedent, trust, or other person whose affairs are subject to this act as the property is originally constituted and as it exists throughout administration. See Michigan Laws 700.1104
  • Proceeding: includes an application and a petition, and may be an action at law or a suit in equity. See Michigan Laws 700.1106
  • Successor: means a person, other than a creditor, who is entitled to property of a decedent under the decedent's will or this act. See Michigan Laws 700.1107
   The amount of a successor‘s noncontingent indebtedness to the estate if due, or its present value if not due, shall be offset against the successor’s interest. However, the successor has the benefit of a defense that would be available to the successor in a direct proceeding for recovery of the debt.
