  • Special provisions for minors, blended families or special needs

Before you hire in Marathon Township

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Marathon Township was built around 1976. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Pre-war construction

19% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Permits: check with the Marathon Township building department before work starts.

Wills and Trusts in Marathon Township: FAQ

Generally no. A will directs how property passes through probate. A properly funded trust or other transfer arrangements can avoid probate for those assets.
It means retitling property, such as the house and accounts, into the trust. Property left in your own name may still need probate.
Michigan allows it in some forms, but mistakes in signing or wording can cause disputes. An attorney helps avoid that.
