Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

Recording a Deed

Yesterday I tried to record a deed and was told it was in unrecordable format. Now while reformatting and correcting, there will be difference in the dates of conveyance and when the deed was notarized. How do you reconcile this?

Thank you

Re: Recording a Deed

You have to have all the original people re-sign the Deed, and you could back date it, since you are just correcting the original, and it is the date the deed is recorded that determines priority of a lien, transfer, taxes, etc., not the date it was signed.

Go on the court's website, or look at the Oakland or Wayne County Register of Deeds' websites for the formatting and other requirements so you don't have to keep going back.
