This bill amends the 1861 law regarding 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 the language surrounding the parties involved in the deed. Specifically, it allows for a deed of land located in Michigan to be executed by two individuals jointly with their spouse, rather than specifically a married woman and her husband. The bill clarifies that such deeds, when executed and acknowledged as required, will be considered valid and effective in conveying legal title, as if both spouses had executed the deed in person.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the amendments will only take effect if certain joint resolutions become part of the state constitution. This ensures that the changes to the deed execution process align with broader constitutional provisions. Overall, the bill modernizes the language and inclusivity of the law regarding real estate transactions in Michigan.
