Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

The survey is typically the first step. You then use that survey when filling out the appropriate local forms. Each City, Township etc has its own local ordinances that govern the exact procedures. Whenever we are hired for this type of project we always get a copy of the local ordinances. The fact that the conveyance documents will list the purchase price as a $1.00 does not mean that an attorney is not required. Like most legal matters theoretically you can do this without legal counsel but it is not recommended. As for the implications to the dominent property, for an exact opinion I would have to see the local ordinances. There will be two new legal descriptions but whether the Township would claim this is grounds for a reassessment for tax purposes I would not know until I reviewed the local ordinances.
