As amended through April 11, 2024
Rule 5.132 - Proof of Wills
(A) Deposition of Witness to Will. If no written objection has been filed to the admission to probate of a document purporting to be the will of a decedent, the deposition of a witness to the will or of other witnesses competent to testify at a proceeding for the probate of the will may be taken and filed without notice. However, the deposition is not admissible in evidence if at the hearing on the petition for probate of the will an interested person who was not given notice of the taking of the deposition as provided by MCR 2.306(B) objects to its use.
(B) Use of Copy of Will. When proof of a will is required and a deposition is to be taken, a copy of the original will or other document reproduced in accordance with the Records Reproduction Act, MCL 24.401et seq., may be used at the deposition.
