Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1927 PA 210, entitled"An act to provide for the termination of tenancies by the entirety and the conveyance of interests therein,"by amending section 1 (MCL 557.101).
AI Summary
This bill updates Michigan law regarding tenancy by the entirety, which is a type of property ownership exclusively available to married couples where both spouses jointly own the entire property with certain legal protections. The bill modernizes the language of the existing 1927 law by removing gender-specific terms like "husband and wife" and "his or her" and replacing them with more neutral language such as "spouses" and "the spouse's". The substantive legal provision remains the same, allowing either spouse to terminate a tenancy by the entirety through a conveyance (transfer) of their interest in the property to the other spouse. Importantly, the bill is contingent upon a related constitutional amendment (either Senate Joint Resolution or House Joint Resolution F) being approved, which means the bill will only take effect if that constitutional change is successfully adopted.
