MiFILE is coming to the Livingston County Probate Court November of 2025.

All attorneys submitting PROBATE FILINGS with the Court are required to e-file per Michigan Court Rule 1.109(G)(3)(f). Self-represented parties may participate in the e-filing program as well. You do not need to be an attorney to use MiFILE.

A separate Proof of Service is not needed if the other party/parties are registered users of the MiFILE system and are selected to receive service at the time of filing within MiFILE. (Note: Proof of service is required for interested persons and parties served outside the MiFILE system.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO E-FILERS:

  • ALL separately captioned documents must be filed as a separate document in a bundle. For example: Notice of Motion Hearing, Motion and Brief are three separate documents in the same bundle.
  • Proposed Stipulations and Orders must be submitted as one document, NOT as a separate Stipulation and a separate Proposed Order.
  • Proposed Orders related to a Motion scheduled for hearing should be labeled “proposed order” and included withthe motion document and NOT filed as a separate TrueFiling Document.
  • A separate Proof of Service is not needed if the other party/parties are registered users of the MiFILE system and are selected to receive service at the time of filing within MiFILE.
  • A separate current summons document is required at the time a complaint is filed.
  • When entering address information, please refrain from entering the full name of the firm and/or business and any c/o information.  The party name (that will become the case caption) and mailing address are the only elements needed and required.  Entering more than the required information will cause a delay in processing documents.
