I Know What Are Michigan’s Riparian Waters
I can point anyone to a riparian river or lake anywhere in the State, as versus one that very much appears to be such a body of water but is simply land covered with water. There’s no majic legal formula involved as I am simply know what waters are riparian.
I Immediately Identify Michigan’s Waters That Are Not Riparian
My familiarity with the legal aspects of water bodies also allows me to easily distinguish water covered lands that are not riparian. I hear such statements as, “….but it’s an all-aports lake.” In such instances, the state has given you misinformation. It does not mean it’s riparian when the state declares land covered with water is riparian and that you and/or the public have rights to the bottomland.
Buying Water-Covered Property
Unfortunately, and despite being federal issues, many of these water bodies have intentionally or otherwise been identified by the State of Michigan as riparian when they aren’t. Again, do yourself a favor and ask me if it’s riparian and what title and rights you or others may have.
Selling Water-Covered Property
Perpetually Laden With Liability
Michigan Lake and River Bottomland Titles and Rights
Largely Dependent on Whether Riparian or Not
Michigan Subdivision and Condominium Plats and Certified Surveys
I would never recommend anyone buying or selling any of the above lots, units or other properties. These statutory provisions and resultant surveys that the state has enacted are glaringly unconstitutional and fraudulent. Prior to signing any document with a realtor or seller regarding the buying of a subdivision lot, a site condominium unit or any other property adjacent to water, contact me.
3-Sided, Open-Ended Parcels of Water-Covered Lands Throughout the State
See Subdivisions, etc., above. More often than not, 2 or 3 sides of a parcel is what you get for your money. Buying and selling such property is dangerous.
