Act 200 of 1945
565.103 Marketable record title; successors in interest; notice of claims; filing for record.
Sec. 3.
Marketable title shall be held by a person and shall be taken by his or her successors in interest free and clear of any and all interests, claims, and charges whatsoever the existence of which depends in whole or in part upon any act, transaction, event, or omission that occurred prior to the 20-year period for mineral interests, and the 40-year period for other interests, and all interests, claims, and charges are hereby declared to be null and void and of no effect at law or in equity. However, an interest, claim, or charge may be preserved and kept effective by filing for record within 3 years after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 1a or during the 20-year period for mineral interests and the 40-year period for other interests, a notice in writing, verified by oath, setting forth the nature of the claim. A disability or lack of knowledge of any kind on the part of anyone does not suspend the running of the 20-year period for mineral interests or the 40-year period for other interests. For the purpose of recording notices of claim for homestead interests the date from which the 20-year period for mineral interests and the 40-year period for other interests shall run shall be the date of recording of the instrument, nonjoinder, in which is the basis for the claim. A notice may be filed for record by the claimant or by any other person acting on behalf of any claimant if 1 or more of the following conditions exist:
(a) The claimant is under a disability.
(b) The claimant is unable to assert a claim on his or her own behalf.
(c) The claimant is 1 of a class but whose identity cannot be established or is uncertain at the time of filing the notice of claim for record.
