Need an Owosso Quitclaim Deed but Don’t Have the Old Deed?

Many Owosso property owners already know:

• The property address

• Who currently owns the property

But they may not have:

• A copy of the current recorded deed

• Parcel identification number

• Complete legal description

• Prior recording information

• Exact ownership wording

• Lot or subdivision information

• Assessment information

• Tax information

That’s where our professional preparation service can help.

City of Owosso Property Records

The City of Owosso maintains a detailed property-record system through its:

Assessing Department

The city states that its Assessing Department maintains records involving:

• Ownership

• Tax descriptions

• Land size

• Land value

• Building characteristics

• Assessed value

• Taxable value

• Sales data

• Zoning

• Photos

These records can be particularly useful when a customer knows the street address but does not have every technical detail needed for deed preparation.

For professional orders, local records may be compared with county Equalization and Register of Deeds information.

Owosso Property Assessment Information

The City of Owosso Assessor’s Office handles property assessment information and questions concerning assessed value.

The City Hall is currently located at:

301 W. Main Street
Owosso, MI 48867

The city currently lists normal office hours as Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Local assessment information can provide another useful research layer before reviewing the official recorded deed.

Shiawassee County Equalization Property Records

Shiawassee County Equalization provides one of the strongest county-level research resources for Owosso property.

The county states that its property database includes:

Legal Descriptions

as well as:

• Ownership

• Addresses

• Valuations

• Taxes

• Millage rates

• Exemption status

For professional deed preparation, this can help us cross-reference:

• Property address

• Existing owner information

• Parcel information

• Legal description

• Tax data

• Assessment information

before comparing that information with the prior recorded deed.

Shiawassee County GIS Property Research

Shiawassee County maintains:

GIS Interactive Maps

for public property research.

The county notes that its parcel layer is actively updated and encourages users to check back for current information.

GIS research may help with:

• Parcel identification

• Property location

• Geographic context

• Cross-referencing an address

• Municipal boundaries

• Parcel configuration

Important

GIS and parcel maps are research resources.

They are not legal boundary surveys, title certifications, or ownership opinions.

The county itself notes that its parcel layer continues to be updated, which is another reason GIS information should be cross-checked against recorded land documents.

Don’t Have Your Current Recorded Deed?

You may not need to locate it yourself.

The:

Shiawassee County Register of Deeds

maintains recorded real-estate documents affecting property throughout Shiawassee County.

For professional preparation orders, we may attempt to locate the prior recorded deed as part of our property research.

A prior deed may contain:

• Exact owner names

• Existing ownership wording

• Legal description

• Parcel references

• Recording information

• Lot numbers

• Subdivision information

• Prior conveyance details

Shiawassee County Online Deed Search

The Shiawassee County Register of Deeds provides online access to recorded property documents.

The county currently states that its online services allow users to search records by:

• Name

• Year

• Recorded date

• Liber/Page

The online system currently includes:

Indexes & Images From 1953 to Present

for deeds and other recorded documents.

Images are also available by searching Liber and Page.

This is particularly useful when an Owosso property owner no longer has a copy of the current deed.

What Information Helps Locate a Recorded Deed?

Shiawassee County’s Register of Deeds states that when requesting a copy of a recorded document, users should know:

• The names on the document

• The approximate year of recording

If you know the property address and basic ownership information, we may be able to use available city and county resources to develop the information needed for deeper record research.

Give Us the Property Address — We Do Much of the Research for You.

Why the Previous Recorded Deed Matters

A new deed should not be prepared by simply guessing at existing property information.

The prior recorded deed may contain:

• Exact current owner names

• Existing ownership wording

• Legal description

• Parcel references

• Prior recording information

• Lot numbers

• Subdivision information

• Plat references

• Previous conveyance language

Our professional preparation service can include research of available public records in an effort to locate and cross-reference this information.

Your Owosso Street Address Is Not the Legal Description

A street address identifies where a property is physically located.

It generally does not replace the complete legal description appearing in recorded land records.

A legal description may contain:

• Lot numbers

• Block numbers

• Subdivision names

• Plat references

• Section information

• Township and range references

• Metes-and-bounds descriptions

• Other formal property-description language

Shiawassee County Equalization specifically states that its property database contains legal descriptions, giving us an additional research source when preparing an Owosso deed.

For professional preparation orders, we may research:

City of Owosso Records + County Equalization + GIS + Register of Deeds Records + Prior Recorded Deed

in an effort to identify the existing legal description.

What Is a Michigan Quitclaim Deed?

A Michigan Quitclaim Deed generally transfers whatever ownership interest the grantor currently possesses in real property to another person or entity.

The person transferring the property interest is generally called the:

Grantor

The person receiving the ownership interest is generally called the:

Grantee

A Quitclaim Deed generally does not provide the same warranties concerning title that may accompany certain other types of deeds.

Because choosing a deed can affect important legal rights, we cannot determine which type of deed you should use.

If you have already decided that a Quitclaim Deed is the document you want, however, we can prepare it according to your instructions.

Common Owosso Quitclaim Deed Transactions

Customers may request deed preparation for situations involving:

Family Property Transfers

Property interests may be transferred between:

• Spouses

• Parents and children

• Siblings

• Other relatives

Adding Someone to a Deed

A current property owner may already have decided to convey an ownership interest to another person.

Divorce-Related Property Transfers

A deed may be needed to complete an agreed-upon or court-directed property transfer between former spouses.

Transfers Between Co-Owners

One current owner may transfer an ownership interest to another owner.

Estate-Planning Transactions

A customer may have received instructions from an attorney or estate-planning professional to complete a particular property transfer.

Trust, LLC, or Business Transfers

Customers may request deed preparation after independently deciding that property should be transferred to or from a trust, LLC, corporation, or another entity.

These are examples only.

We do not determine whether a particular property transfer is legally, financially, or tax-wise appropriate.

Government Recording Fees Are Separate

Our service pricing is:

$9.99 — Editable Michigan Quitclaim Deed

$225 — Professional Preparation + Property Research

Government recording fees, transfer taxes, document copies, tax certifications, and other third-party expenses are separate unless expressly included in your individual order.

Shiawassee County Recording Requirements

Shiawassee County publishes formal recording requirements for documents submitted to its Register of Deeds.

Among other requirements, the county states that:

• The original document is required for recording

• Original signatures are required

• Signer names must be printed, typed, or stamped beneath signatures

• Signatures must meet Michigan recording requirements

Our professionally prepared deeds are formatted with applicable Michigan and Shiawassee County recording requirements in mind.

Shiawassee County Tax Certificates

The county’s current fee schedule lists a:

$5 Tax Certificate Fee

for specified documents, including:

• Warranty deeds

• Land contracts

• Land-contract assignments

• Condominium master deeds

A standard Quitclaim Deed does not automatically have the same certification requirements as every other instrument.

We cannot provide legal or tax advice concerning whether a specific deed or transaction requires tax certification.

Shiawassee County Transfer Taxes

Michigan property transfers may be subject to state and county real-estate transfer taxes unless a statutory exemption applies.

The standard Michigan rates where both taxes apply are generally:

State Transfer Tax — $7.50 Per $1,000

County Transfer Tax — $1.10 Per $1,000

for a combined:

$8.60 Per $1,000

Shiawassee County provides separate resources for county and state real-estate transfer-tax exemptions and a transfer-tax schedule through its Register of Deeds.

Important

We cannot determine:

• Whether your transaction is taxable

• Whether an exemption applies

• Which exemption should be used

• Your tax liability

• The tax consequences of the transfer

If you need legal or tax advice, consult a licensed Michigan attorney, CPA, or other qualified tax professional.

Michigan Property Transfer Affidavit

A Michigan real-estate transfer may also involve a:

Property Transfer Affidavit

which is separate from the Quitclaim Deed itself.

The affidavit generally reports a transfer to the appropriate local assessing authority.

A property transfer may also have implications involving:

• Property-tax uncapping

• Principal Residence Exemption

• Transfer taxes

• Mortgage obligations

• Gift taxes

• Estate planning

• Capital gains

• Other legal or financial matters

We cannot provide legal or tax advice concerning those consequences.

Why Choose Professional Preparation Instead of Just the $9.99 Form?

Some customers already have all the necessary property information and are comfortable preparing the deed themselves.

That’s why we offer the $9.99 DIY option.

Professional preparation may make more sense if you don’t want to spend your own time:

• Finding the previous deed

• Searching City of Owosso records

• Locating the parcel information

• Reviewing Shiawassee County Equalization data

• Researching legal descriptions

• Using county GIS

• Searching Register of Deeds records

• Reviewing recording requirements

• Formatting the deed

• Coordinating notarization

With our $225 and $400 options:

We Do Much of the Research for You.

Property Research Is Not a Formal Title Search

Our professional preparation services can include substantial public-record research.

However, document-preparation research should not be confused with formal title work.

When we research:

City of Owosso Records + Shiawassee County Equalization + GIS + Register of Deeds Records + Prior Deeds

we are gathering available information for the purpose of preparing the document requested by the customer.

Our Property Research Does Not:

• Certify ownership

• Guarantee clear title

• Guarantee marketable title

• Issue title insurance

• Provide an attorney title opinion

• Certify lien status

• Determine whether another person has an ownership claim

• Determine whether a mortgage permits a transfer

• Perform a legal boundary survey

If you need formal title research, title insurance, lien analysis, or a legal opinion concerning property ownership, contact a licensed Michigan attorney or title company.

Michigan Property Transfers May Involve Additional Paperwork

A Quitclaim Deed may not be the only paperwork associated with a Michigan property transfer.

Depending upon the circumstances, there may also be considerations involving:

• Michigan Property Transfer Affidavit

• Tax certification

• Real-estate transfer taxes

• Transfer-tax exemptions

• Property-tax uncapping

• Principal Residence Exemption

• Mortgage obligations

• Gift-tax considerations

• Capital gains

• Estate planning

• Probate

• Medicaid planning

We cannot provide legal or tax advice concerning these matters.

If you are uncertain how a transfer may affect you, consult a licensed Michigan attorney, CPA, tax professional, assessor, or other qualified professional.

We are a non-attorney document preparation and notary staffing agency. We are not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice, legal representation, title opinions, or other legal opinions concerning real-estate transactions.

We cannot tell you what your legal rights or remedies are, whether you should transfer real estate, which type of deed you should use, who should be added to or removed from ownership, how title should be held, or what effect a property transfer may have on taxes, mortgages, creditors, divorce, probate, Medicaid, trusts, estate planning, transfer taxes, or other legal or financial matters.
