The bill amends section 2 of the 1861 PA 21, which pertains to the confirmation of deeds and instruments for the conveyance of real estate in Michigan. The key changes include the replacement of the term "All deeds" with "A deed" and the modification of "lands situated" to "land located." Additionally, the bill allows for a deed to be executed by two individuals jointly with their spouse through an attorney in fact under a joint power of attorney, rather than requiring the traditional husband and wife designation.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that such deeds, when executed and acknowledged as required, must be considered valid and effective in conveying legal title, as if the spouses had executed the deed in person. The bill also includes a provision stating that it will not take effect unless certain joint resolutions become part of the state constitution.
