Q: My parents both died and left me their home, which I have always lived in. I am on Mental Disability.
my cousin had me sign A mIchigan Life deed and now keeps taking me to court to try and evecit me, he is now suing for a Quiet Title. What are my rights?
A: A lawyer will need to review what the recorded deed says. You should definitely look into finding an attorney.
Kenneth V Zichi agrees with this answer
A:
I concur - you need to have an attorney review the paperwork. Mr Geers and my confusion stems from the fact that a "Michigan Life Deed" is not a term used in the law.
Your local real estate attorney will need to SEE the deed you're referring to as well as the attempts to 'evict' you in order to provide valuable guidance. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish about this -- your home is at stake here.

A: Your legal rights to the property will be dependent upon the terms as specified within the deed. My suggestion is that you send over a copy of the deed to a competent real estate attorney to review. See www.provenresource.com/deeds for more information. https://provenresource.com/deeds/
