✍️ Sample MI BAR Questions & Answers

1. Under Michigan law, nonprobate transfers such as POD accounts and revocable trust assets are counted for elective share purposes how?
✓ Property derived from the decedent outside the will reduces the electing spouse's share by half its value

Michigan reduces the elective share by one-half the value of property the spouse derived from the decedent by means other than the will, rather than using a full augmented estate.

2. Under the Michigan Trust Code, a valid private express trust requires all of the following EXCEPT:
✓ A written instrument signed by two witnesses

Michigan trusts need capacity, intent, ascertainable beneficiaries (or an exception), and trustee duties, but an oral trust of personal property can be valid without witnesses.

3. What is a material breach of contract?
✓ A breach so substantial that it excuses the non-breaching party from further performance

A material breach is a failure to perform a substantial part of the contract, going to the essence of the agreement and depriving the other party of the expected benefit.

4. In Michigan, which of the following is true about the statute of limitations for breach of a written contract?
✓ The statute of limitations is 6 years from the date of breach.

In Michigan, the statute of limitations for actions founded on contracts, including written contracts, is generally six years. This is stipulated under Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) 600.5807(8). The six-year period begins from the date the breach of contract occurs, after which legal action cannot typically be pursued.

5. Under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, when the government permanently physically occupies private property, compensation is required:
✓ Always, regardless of the duration or economic impact of the occupation

In Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., the Supreme Court held that any permanent physical occupation constitutes a per se taking requiring just compensation regardless of economic impact.

6. A woman was cornered in an alley by an attacker brandishing a knife and demanding her life. She shot him. In a jurisdiction with no duty to retreat, her self-defense claim requires showing:
✓ A reasonable belief that deadly force was necessary to prevent imminent death or serious bodily harm

Deadly force in self-defense requires a reasonable belief of imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury, with no retreat duty in a stand-your-ground jurisdiction.
