MI HB4524

Amends Michigan's Marketable Record Title Act to establish that persons with an unbroken chain of title for 20 years (mineral interests) or 40 years (other interests) have marketable record title, subject to specified exceptions and recorded claims

Creates a 2-year grace period from the effective date (September 29, 2025) for recording notices of claim to preserve interests that would otherwise be extinguished under the act's time limitations

Expands exceptions that cannot be barred by the act, including easements for utilities, energy facilities, stormwater/drainage facilities, environmental restrictions, conservation easements, and condominium master deeds

Specifies that instruments referencing title exceptions solely to limit warranty do not create, preserve, or continue interests under the act if they include a designated disclaimer statement, and general "subject to easements and restrictions of record" language without specific recording references is ineffective to preserve interests

Provides that courts shall award costs, attorney fees, and damages against any person who files a claim solely to slander title to land
