Can an Unmarried Spouse Sell a Home and Receive Veteran’s Exemption??

"We're Glad You Asked That"

Q&A Video Clips

If a surviving spouse sells their home to buy another one in Michigan, will the unmarried spouse be allowed the veteran’s exemption? Chris Patterson relates the letter of the law and the perspective of the overseeing agencies involved, as well as recent changes and decisions regarding veteran’s exemptions.

At the MTA 2019 Conference, our attorney’s hosted our annual Question and Answer panel to address the questions you submitted. Our panel included Bill Fahey, Kyle O’Meara, Jacob Witte, and Matthew Kuschel, hosted by Christopher Patterson. Between them, this panel represents decades of experience in sectors ranging municipal law, public utilities, labor & employment, and more. Questions include everything from Medical Marihuana to land use permits. New clips will be shared monthly in our E-Newsletter.
