In determining a claim against an estate, the court shall reduce the amount allowed by the amount of a counterclaim and, if counterclaims exceed the claim, render a judgment against the claimant in the excess amount. A counterclaim, liquidated or unliquidated, may arise from a transaction other than that upon which the claim is based. A counterclaim may give rise to relief exceeding in amount or different in kind from that sought in the claim.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 700","Act Act-386-of-1998"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-700-3811","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"2baa95590190012f5827abb193d352026571420f8ce7ffd13bef2c2abd5cb0fd","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-700.3810","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-700.3812"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
