The New York Probate Lawyer Blog has discussed many issues that arise in connection with intestacy. When a person is said to have died intestate it means that his or her estate is to be distributed without the benefit of a Last Will. The relevant local laws of intestacy determine which persons (i.e., next of kin) are to inherit the decedent's estate.An intestate estate can arise when a person does not execute a Last Will prior to death. It can also occur when a person purportedly signs a Will but the Will is lost or there is a Will Contest litigation and the document is not admitted to probate.The recent untimely death of Amy Winehouse is a typical example of someone who did not prepare a Last Will. When there is no Will, the intestacy laws of a person's domicile or primary home determine who is to inherit.

After four years of utility rate hikes, Michigan now has the highest electric rates in the Midwest, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, and now, for the first time ever, rates higher than the national average. This trend will only continue and worsen. Since implementation of the cap on electric competition in 2008, Consumers Energy has raised rates on Michigan customers by 30 percent; DTE is close behind. That's far faster than the rate of inflation, and comes at a time when many Michigan's families, businesses and governments are struggling to make ends meet. Prior to instituting the cap and putting a restriction on electric competition, Michigans rates were below the national average.Glacial Energy (www.switchtoglacial.com) is an alternative electric supplier in the state of Michigan, who buys electricity wholesale and then sells and services businesses and residential customers directly.
