Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
Title to Michigan Property
I bought a property about 12 years ago and received a Warranty Deed from the Seller. I never recorded the deed, but I paid the taxes, used the land for hunting and recreation, put a fence on it, etc. Others recognized I was the owner, even the city where the property is located because I entered into a gravel removal agreement with the city. Problem is that the seller died and his estate attorney included it in the seller's estate since the title was still in his name and the seller's children received a quit claim deed for my property. I gave the children a copy of my deed and the check that their father cashed for the purchase. The children will not recognize my ownership.
How can I resolve this ownership issue?
Thanks.

Re: Title to Michigan Property
Your deed was not recorded and therefore was not in the chain of title.
You will need to file an action / lawsuit to quiet title to the property. You will need an attorney. If you would like my assistance, I would be pleased to represent you.
