We've been married almost a year. He had a will before we married.
As the legal spouse, you may claim what's called your spousal elective share, or take what's provided to you in the will (which appears to be nothing since it predates your marriage). You may also be entitled to homestead and family allowance; and of course anything jointly owned would go to you.
Is there a Michigan law section I can quote?
You may well be. If the landlord sues, he or she can collect from either or both of you.

You - or more accurately, the parents of these kids are in a pickle. Assuming Dad has established legal custody, he and the mother could consent to you being the guardian. That actually might be a really good idea for both of them, because if Dad goes to jail or prison, and Mom is already locked... Read more »

2014 J.o.D. awarded husband 1/2 my 403(b) account and 1/2 pension. I'm planning to retire next year but am I responsible for getting the QDRO. J.O.D. says that he is responsible for all costs. If he fails to do the QDRO/EDRO by a certain time, do I get to keep my full retirement?
This type of question is unlikely to get any specific response, there is just not enough information.
You'll want to contact a family law attorney, or general litigator to discuss some of the risks arising from what you're describing.
I told the landlord that I wanted to stay he says the lease ends on the 31st and I have to move can they still make me move even though I never said I wanted to move
Probably. Month-to-month leases, are generally considered a periodic tenancy, those that continue for successive fractions until terminated by proper notice by either party. The beginning date is certain, but the termination date is uncertain--that is--until notice is given. Termination of the... Read more »

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. You could continue to await a response, or you could consider reaching out to a local attorney to discuss, also looking into whether any state laws apply here. Good luck

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a month. As a general matter, each state might operate differently in terms of what their Departments of Natural Resources (or Environmental Protection, Wildlife, Fisheries, etc.) share with their Departments of Motor Vehicles....

He actually changed the will about a month ago. My mother insisted on separate trust because she does not trust him to do the right thing. Could you please tell me how he legally did this. Thank you for your help in this matter. Thomas Gary Harris
If someone does not have capacity to make a will, they cannot make a will. No one else can do it for them at that point.

It is unclear what you are asking, but I gather you are talking about a certificate of affixture of a mobile home? There is a state approved form that should be filed with the register of deeds, and it should have been recorded either before or at the time you bought the land. Did you get the... Read more »
If you changed your name when you were married, then obtain a judgment of divorce without changing your name to something else, you are still divorced.
The person who died without a will, so I was told, was the mother and guardian of one of a sibling. The other sibling is now the guardian and wants to continue renting the deceased property to the first. Isn't that dealing to themselves?
There is nothing that 'jumps up and down' and screams this is inappropriate in the facts you present, BUT the individual needs to have some authority to do this, be that as a court appointed Personal Representative or as the new owner under some other mechanism like a Ladybird or Quit...

I used a storage facility that is self service for many years. Last week, my car was stolen right out of the storage yard and I was notified several days later. The facility does have a gate surrounding it, however if you approach the front gate on car or foot, it opens automatically. No ID or... Read more »
Maybe.

Give 50 dollars if i sign a release and indemnity with my social security number
I see now they are offering 50$. To many people that is quit a bit of money, but in the grand scheme of things, you won't know what you're giving up unless you talk to an attorney who can give you at least a cursory overview.

Michigan law became complicated due to Republican attempts to limit the liability of careless people. I suggest you contact a member of the Michigan Assn for Justice in your county --they give free consults.
