How Land Contracts Work in Michigan

With a land contract, the seller will continue to own the property until meeting the contract's terms. They would pay the mortgage and taxes on said property. The buyer would have use of the property as according to the contract, and they would be required to maintain it as an owner would.

Sellers can set aspects such as down payments, interest rates and installments. They can also set stipulations in the contract, including a termination clause should the buyer damage or neglect the property.

Handling Foreclosures & Forfeitures Proceedings

If a buyer reneges on their land contract and you are the seller, you may be able to pursue foreclosure or forfeiture as a legal remedy. Both of these processes can be quite complex, each having its own advantages and disadvantages.

Forfeiture is considered to be easier, more cost-effective, and more efficient. Foreclosure may be more costly and time-consuming, but it can help if you are interested in a deficiency judgment if the buyer is delinquent. Our Genesee County real estate attorney and legal team can help you to make a decision.

We can assist you with the following matters:

  • Representation in court
  • Filling out and filing documents
  • Providing valuable advice

In the state of Michigan, foreclosure and forfeiture of any real estate contract are governed by very strict laws and regulations. There is a specific code that must be followed in order to ensure that the process goes smoothly. If you fail to comply with the procedure, it could lead to serious consequences.
