Memorandum of Administrative Closing is a State Court Administrative Office form, which is triggered when the personal representative in a probate estate has failed to do something required by statute or court ruling. This form, PC 599, can be found, printed and filled out at home by clicking here.
Most of these State Court Administrative Office forms are associated with Michigan Court Rules and statutes. The Memorandum of Administrative Closing form is no different.
The Memorandum of Administrative Closing form is associated with MCL 700.3951, which states:
(3) If the notice described in subsection (1) is not filed and an interested person’s petition is not pending, the court may notify the personal representative and all interested persons that the court will close the estate administration and terminate the personal representative’s authority within 63 days unless within that time period any of the following occur:
(a) The personal representative files a notice under subsection (1), a petition for settlement under either section 3952 or 3953, or a sworn statement under section 3954.
(b) An interested person files a petition requesting a hearing on the necessity for continued administration or a petition for an order of settlement under either section 3952 or 3953.
In addition to this statute, the Memorandum of Administrative Closing form is associated with MCR 5.144 and MCR 5.203(D). These are accessible by clicking on the MCR number. To help you understand this form better, Darren Findling of The Probate Pro dives deep into this form.
