Michigan couple loses appeal over disputed land strip due to deed error

A Michigan couple has lost a court appeal regarding a 50-foot strip of land. They claimed a 1965 deed error excluded it from their property, which they purchased at a 2015 tax sale. The couple argued previous owners had used the land, but surveys placed it within a neighbor's parcel. On October 9, 2026, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled against them, citing insufficient proof of ownership.
