A Michigan Forfeiture Notice, Land Contract is a legal document used in the state of Michigan that outlines the terms and conditions of a land contract agreement. It is filed with the county register of deeds when a buyer and seller enter into a land contract agreement. The Forfeiture Notice protects both parties in the event of a default by either party. It includes information such as the buyer’s and seller’s names, the property address, the purchase price, the terms of the contract, and the date of the contract. It also includes a statement of forfeiture, which details the rights of the seller if the buyer defaults on the contract. There are two types of Michigan Forfeiture Notice, Land Contract: an Affidavit of Forfeiture and an Order of Forfeiture. An Affidavit of Forfeiture is used when a buyer defaults and the seller wants to keep the down payment made by the buyer. An Order of Forfeiture is used when the buyer defaults and the seller wants to reclaim the property.
