  _________________________________________/                         Probate Ct: 11-031616-TV

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the February 22, 2013 order of the Court of Appeals is
  considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  REVERSE the May 17, 2012 order of the Grand Traverse Probate Court determining that
  the petitioner lacked standing, and we REMAND this case to the probate court for
  consideration of the issues regarding the ripeness of the petitioner’s claim in light of
  MCL 700.7604. The probate court shall also address the alleged conflict of interest by
  respondent attorney Terry C. Rogers. We DIRECT the probate court to decide all
  outstanding issues in this case on an expedited basis.

        We do not retain jurisdiction.

                           I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
