Re: michigan probate law
The son as conservator has control over the father's assets. As a joint account holder, you have shared control with the son over the joint account. As a girlfriend, unless you are written in his will, you typically would have no claim to any other assets. As to court proceedings, if you are subpoenaed to appear in court, you must be there. Otherwise, your attendance is likely not required.
