Can a married women in Michigan own property solely in her name?

My daughter is in the process of buying a home in Michigan. The mortgage will be in her name only. The Michigan title company closing the transaction is directing her that if a person is married and buying property in Michigan they must take title “by the entireties.” The husband that is not employed, has not worked for a year, and has a poor credit history and has nothing to do with the mortgage MUST have his name on the title.]]> Real Property Law http://www.lawrefs.com/item/michigan-title-company-forces-married-persons-to-take-title-in-spouse-s-name Thu, 24 Apr 2008 07:12:04 -0400 http://www.lawrefs.com/item/michigan-title-company-forces-married-persons-to-take-title-in-spouse-s-name http://www.lawrefs.com/item/payment-in-full Consumer Law http://www.lawrefs.com/item/payment-in-full Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:18:58 -0400 http://www.lawrefs.com/item/payment-in-full http://www.lawrefs.com/item/order-for-grandparenting-time

I bought 60 acres of commercial property ten years ago for $30,000.00. I did not file the deed with the Register of Deeds. The former owner again sold the property to his heirs for $50.00 last year and they recorded their deed. If they would have gone out and looked at the property, they would have seen that it was owned by someone else. Who should prevail in this situation?]]> Real Property Law http://www.lawrefs.com/item/action-to-quiet-title Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:34:19 -0400 http://www.lawrefs.com/item/action-to-quiet-title http://www.lawrefs.com/item/1972-will-leaves-out-children-and-gives-all-to-ex-wife-s-mother
My father passed away recently. His will was from 1972. It leaves out four children from a previous marriage. It also leaves everything to his mother-in-law at the time, however, he divorced the woman to whom he was married at the time of the execution of the will. My sister and I were born after the will was made. What happens in this scenario?]]> Estates / Probate http://www.lawrefs.com/item/1972-will-leaves-out-children-and-gives-all-to-ex-wife-s-mother Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:57:28 -0400 http://www.lawrefs.com/item/1972-will-leaves-out-children-and-gives-all-to-ex-wife-s-mother http://www.lawrefs.com/item/kudos-5
Spectacular! Incredibly thoughtful and scholarly review of this unfortunate circumstance. You have given me strength to fight this landlord not just on behalf of my deceased mother but for all the other elderly tenants in this apartment (and there are quite a few of them) who were cajoled into signing this addendum.
