Property: recording; recording requirements; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 1937 PA 103 (MCL 565.201).

This bill amends Michigan's property recording laws to update and clarify the formatting requirements for legal documents submitted to county registers of deeds. It directly affects anyone executing or filing real estate instruments such as deeds, mortgages, and other property-related documents within the state. The key provisions specify detailed standards for document size, font size, ink color, paper weight, and the inclusion of printed names and addresses for signatories and notaries, while also requiring English translations for non-English documents. The bill maintains existing rules about obscuring social security numbers and clarifies procedures for recording affidavits with attached mortgage copies. These changes aim to standardize how property documents are prepared and processed by local recording offices.
