The bill amends the 1861 law regarding the confirmation of deeds and instruments for the conveyance of real estate in Michigan. It specifically modifies Section 2 to clarify that a deed of land located in the state, executed by two individuals jointly with their spouse through an attorney in fact under a joint power of attorney, must be acknowledged and recorded in the appropriate county's register of deeds. The amendment ensures that such deeds are considered valid and effective in conveying legal title, as if the spouses had executed the deed in person.

Key changes in the bill include the replacement of "All deeds" with "A deed," and the removal of references to "a married woman" and "her husband," instead using "two individuals" and "the individual's spouse." Additionally, the language has been updated to reflect that the deed must be acknowledged by the spouses and clarifies the legal standing of the deed as valid for all parties involved. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the approval of specific Senate or House Joint Resolutions becoming part of the state constitution.
