Need help with probate in Michigan?
Downtown location, and just like everywhere else downtown be prepared to pay to park.
Probate Court has been kidnapping my child for almost four years straight. Please help.
This place gave me the run around for everything I needed. Wrong floor, wrong scheduling, the works. I actually got scheduled for May 31 for a hearing, then I showed up and our names were nowhere. Found out that they had scheduled us in the computer for May 17, and it showed up as a failure to show, but no one told us about that date. Phone calls never got returned and I had to reschedule twice because people messed it up. Made a stressful situation even more stressful. Floor 5 helped so much, one guy in particular. One guy out of how many employees? Sad. This place needs to get its act together, from the first floor to the last. Not happy with the way I was talked to by the service clerks or judge. Hopefully I will never have to go back and deal with this BS again.
I have been submitting annual fiduciary account forms to the Probate Court for over 13+ years for my children. This year I have had to submit the forms (3) different times with little explanation for why. I have left several messages for the Probate Clerk without any return calls. I am thankful this is my last year for having to submit this accounting.
Came to the 2nd floor with a client to turn in paperwork at the probate court office. Clerk was not friendly and very rude. Maybe have the employees do a training on working with people?
