Researching property
in Michigan.

Your Michigan research checklist

1. Identify the county, assessor parcel reference and recorded legal description.
2. Find the official recorder or clerk and obtain relevant deed and interest records.
3. Verify taxes, sale notices and current status with the responsible office.
4. Check planning, access, utilities, code cases and flood information.
5. For adverse possession or abandoned-property questions, locate the current Michigan statute, relevant decisions and local procedure; obtain licensed legal advice.

Vacancy, neglected condition or unpaid taxes do not, by themselves, establish that a person may take possession or claim ownership. AcreNexa does not provide a legal eligibility determination.
