Grant Deed Form - Michigan

A Michigan Grant Deed can be used to document the transfer of ownership of real property from one individual or entity to another. Grant deeds typically include explicit covenants that the grantor has obtained, or owns, the land granted, has the right to convey the land, and that the deed discloses every lien or encumbrance associated with the property. The Michigan Compiled Laws require all grant deeds to provide information about the grantor and the grantee, which must include their names and addresses (565.201). Before a grant deed can be recorded in Michigan, it must be acknowledged (565.47). The acknowledgment must be done before any judge, clerk of a court of record, or notary public within this state (565.8).
