FAQ

Effective August 7, 2019, Michigan law requires a criminal conviction before some property seized under the Public Health Code can be forfeited to law enforcement.

The Michigan Omnibus Forfeiture Act is a legislative measure designed to address specific offenses, mandating a criminal conviction before asset forfeiture can occur. This requirement ensures that property seizure is directly tied to proven criminal activity.

This rule: '… means the rule of public policy which in certain circumstances precludes a person who has unlawfully killed another from acquiring a benefit in consequence of the killing. '

To start forfeiture proceedings the freeholder must inform the leaseholder that a breach of the terms of the lease has been committed and that the leaseholder has the opportunity to resolve the said breach. If the breach is not resolved, the freeholder can start court proceedings to recover possession.

In forfeiture, the seller cannot accelerate the debt. Therefore, the vendee can cure by paying the past-due monthly payments. If the seller wants to terminate the land contract and evict a vendee in chronic default in a foreclosure, the seller can accelerate the debt, making it harder for the tenant to cure.

After the foreclosure is completed, most tenants have protection from immediate eviction. Some have 90 days to find a new home after the redemption period ends. Others can stay in their home until the term of their lease ends.

Michigan earns a D- for its civil forfeiture laws. Once the conviction provision is satisfied, property must be linked to a drug crime by clear and convincing evidence or to another crime by preponderance of the evidence.

Default Clauses: Michigan land contracts typically include default clauses outlining what happens if the buyer fails to make payments. This may include forfeiture of the property or acceleration of the remaining balance.
