Personal Representative

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

There are actually 2 different uses for the legal term "Personal Representative" in Michigan. The Michigan Estates and Protected Individuals Code defines "Personal Repressentative" as the person "in charge" of the Probate Estate (traditionally known as the "Executor").

In a perhaps unfortunate usage (many states use the term Personal Representative instead of Executor and Congress and the Executive Branch certainly had every reason to know this), the U.S. Congress (perhaps more accurately, the HHS in their regulations) has defined the term "Personal Representative" in the HIPAA Law as an individual designated to obtain protected health information under that law.
