Disputes Over Estate Executors? Ann Arbor Law Firm Explains Who Can Object and How to Prevent It

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Oct. 6, 2025 - PRLog -- The appointment of a personal representative is a critical step in Michigan's probate process—but it can also be a source of family conflict. Pear Sperling Eggan & Daniels, P.C., a leading estate planning attorney in Ann Arbor, is helping clients understand their rights when it comes to objecting to or defending a personal representative appointment.
