[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Anyone signing a will in Michigan, and the family member, friend or office helping set up the signing. Who can make a will, per the official page: 18 or older and of sound mind, per the county page. Not the right fit if The person signing isn't in Michigan, you still need the will written (that's a lawyer's job), or someone may contest it. Not a will form or a legal service. Why it is different - Built only from our Michigan will signing data file, checked November 2026 against MCL 700.2502, Execution; witnessed wills; holographic wills (Michigan Legislature); Types of Wills (Kent County, Michigan); MCL 700.2505, Who may witness (Michigan Legislature). - 2 facts aren't stated on those pages, so the kit leaves them out and lists them once to look up, instead of guessing. - Also from the file: Michigan also has a fill-in statutory will form (MCL 700.2519), per the county page. - For the estate side in Michigan, the Michigan Executor and Estate Kit: $50,000 adjusted each year: $53,000 for deaths in 2026, $51,000 for deaths in 2025 (Treasury notice of January 30, 2026). No real property can be in the estate. What is inside - **Start here.** The 5 confirmed Michigan facts at a glance; to look up on the official page: electronic wills, remote witnessing. - **Michigan signing-day checklist.** Bring 2 witnesses. The rule: Two witnesses, each signing within a reasonable time after seeing the signing or the acknowledgment. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. A notary or another officer who can give oaths can take the self-proving affidavit, or the witnesses can sign a statement under penalty of perjury instead. Allowed. The county probate page describes sworn statements before an officer authorized to administer oaths, or a signed statement under penalty of perjury instead. The rule here: A will, or any part of it, isn't invalid because an interested witness signed it. The testator signs (or acknowledges the signature) while the witnesses watch, then each witness signs. This checklist is for a typed will signed with witnesses. - **Witness information sheet.** One block per Michigan witness (2 required, plus a spare). - **Original-will storage and location record.** Where the original is and who has copies. Handwritten wills in Michigan: Recognized if dated and the signature and material parts are in the testator's handwriting. - **Michigan will signing tracker (Excel).** Steps, ID, copies and review dates.
