MI HB5611

Amends the Marketable Record Title Act to allow interests, claims, and charges to be preserved by filing a notice within 5 years after March 29, 2019, or during the standard 20-year period for mineral interests and 40-year period for other interests.

Maintains the void status of interests, claims, and charges whose existence depends on events occurring before the 20-year period for mineral interests and 40-year period for other interests, unless a written notice verified by oath is timely filed.

Clarifies that disability or lack of knowledge does not suspend the running of the 20-year or 40-year preservation periods.

Allows notices of claim to be filed by the claimant or another person acting on their behalf if the claimant is under a disability, unable to assert a claim independently, or is a member of a class whose identity cannot be established.

Takes effect immediately upon approval on December 29, 2020.
