About Us
MI Probate & Estate Navigator was built by a Michigan-based team that saw how overwhelmed families became when trying to navigate the probate process on their own. The paperwork is confusing, the stakes are high, and attorney fees are often out of reach for many families.
Our service fills that gap. We are a document preparation service — not a law firm — and we specialize exclusively in Michigan probate. We use the official, current SCAO forms issued by the State Court Administrative Office, and our packages include attorney review to ensure accuracy before you file.
We are here to make a difficult time a little easier. If you have questions, a real person is on the other end of our support line.
