My sister's inheritance

[aduva]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan

My sister inherited some money. We have a copy of the will, sent by the decedent's (my Mom) attorney. My Mom has her husband as a personal representative, and he has requested informal probate of the will, and informal appointment of himself as personal representative without bond. I live in Michigan. Who is my sister supposed to contact to receive her money? Do we contact my Mom's lawyer, or the personal representative?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

You (or sis, actually) shouldn't have to contact anybody. They should be contacting you (sis). And it is the PR that you deal with.

And, if he has only recently requested appointment, it is likely that it will be at least 6 months before any distributions to beneficiaries happen. Might be sooner, but I would not count on it.
