In determining a claim against a trust, the court shall reduce the amount allowed by the amount of a counterclaim and, if the total counterclaims exceed the claim, render a judgment against the claimant in the amount of the excess. 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-700-7615","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"83014e743bb46ce9b2b4939c9665990acc4864fa43c44a02dd5dff5ef6ab76c4","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-700.7614","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-700.7701"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
