Oakland County Probate Court Policy - SCAO Forms

Michigan Court Rule 5.113(A)(1)(c) states that:

Accordingly, the Oakland County Probate Court policy is as follows:

The SCAO form must be used when a form has been approved for use. A hand-drafted or word-processed document may be filed if it contains the following language: "This document is a replication of the SCAO approved form. No alterations or deletions have been made."
