*AG Nessel Announces Appointme**nt of **Van Buren** Cou**nty Public Administrator*





*LANSING* ? Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel today announced the recent appointment of Theresa J. Cypher [ [link removed] ] as Van Buren County Public Administrator.???

?Theresa brings a wealth of experience to this role,? Nessel said. ?Her extensive background in estate administration and her commitment to the community make her an excellent choice to be Van Buren County Public Administrator.??

County public administrators have powers and duties primarily related to intestate decedent estates where there are apparently no known heirs, including managing the determination, collection, liquidation, and/or distribution of any assets in the estate.? Attorneys who serve in this capacity often also have private practice responsibilities that are separate and unrelated to their appointment as a county public administrator.????

?County public administrators serve in a position of trust in Michigan?s Probate Court system and perform vital work on behalf of their respective communities,? said State Public Administrator Randi M. Merchant. ?The Department is fortunate to have a talented and passionate pool of attorneys that serve in this role across the State, and I am pleased to welcome County Public Administrator Cypher as the newest member of that team.??

Cypher is a graduate with honors from Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology and has been in private practice since 1999. She currently practices at Laaksonen Law Offices, P.C., in Paw Paw, specializing in estate planning, estate administration, conservatorship and guardianship matters, family law, and juvenile court matters. She is also a volunteer with the Diocese of Kalamazoo, assisting with their Safe Environment Program and the Catholic Foundation of Southwestern Michigan. Cypher was sworn in on July 31st, 2024.
