MARQUETTE -- Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Friday that local attorney Patricia Davis has been selected as Marquette County public administrator. Davis was sworn into her new position on Sept 1.
"County public administrators have powers and duties related to decedent estates, primarily those where there is no will and there are no known heirs, including managing the determination, collection, liquidation and/or distribution of any assets in the estate," said the Michigan Department of Attorney General's statement. "Attorneys that serve in this capacity often have private practice responsibilities that are separate and unrelated to their appointment as county public administrator."
Davis is no different, as she is taking on this new role in addition to her work as managing partner at Kendricks Bordeau, P.C. in Marquette, where she practices in the areas of estate planning, probate administration, trust administration and probate litigation. In addition to this work, Davis is an active participant in many local organizations in her community.
In addition to Davis, Nessel also announced Angelo Donofrio as Macomb County Public Administrator.
""Michigan's public administrators have strong commitments to their communities, and I am sure Mr. Donofrio and Ms. Davis will uphold that standard," said Nessel. "Their integrity and experience will be paramount in serving the residents of Macomb and Marquette counties."
"I look forward to working with County Public Administrators Donofrio and Davis," said State Public Administrator Randi M. Merchant. "I have every confidence that they will each serve as an outstanding addition to the roster of talented and passionate attorneys that serve as county public administrators across the state and that they will effectively and efficiently fulfill their duties when acting in this position of trust."
