How do I determine if I have a resident or nonresident estate or trust?

If a decedent was domiciled in Michigan at the time of death, the estate is a resident estate.

If a decedent was not domiciled in Michigan at the time of death, the estate is a nonresident estate. A trust created by the nonresident decedent’s will is a nonresident trust.

If a trust was created by a grantor who was domiciled in Michigan at the time the trust becomes irrevocable, the trust is a resident trust.

If the grantor was not domiciled in Michigan at the time the trust became irrevocable, the trust is a nonresident trust.
