According to Michigan Probate law, when a probate estate is initiated with the court, the personal representative is required to serve Medicaid a Notice to Creditors, informing them that the decedent has died and that Medicaid has 4 months to file a claim against the estate. Did you send Medicaid the Notice to Creditors?
