You can. But you might not want to.

Visit: www.legislature.mi.gov. Follow the search links to the Michigan law (700.2519) that contains the valid form for Michigan residents to use to make out their own Wills. The Michigan statutory Will is a fill-in-the-blank form. Read it. Does it have all the right blanks for you? If it does, you will have a valid Will by filling it out correctly.

A Will goes to the probate court. It tells your beneficiaries and heirs and the probate court what you want done with your estate. Remember that when you die, your estate passes through probate court to be distributed. That takes five months, costs money, and is public. Of course there are many ways to avoid probate.
