Questions answered? Let's get started!
The hand that signs this Michigan quitclaim deed is not the hand of the owner whose interest moves. The record owner is named as Grantor and never touches the paper; an attorney-in-fact, named in a section of its own, signs in the owner's name under a power of attorney, and one acknowledgment certificate records that agent's appearance.
Authority the deed has to point to
An agent's power over Michigan land comes from the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, 2023 PA 187, MCL 556.201 to 556.505, effective July 1, 2024, which replaced the durable power of attorney sections of the Estates and Protected Individuals Code. MCL 556.304 does the work here: language granting general authority with respect to real property authorizes the agent to sell, exchange, convey with or without covenants, quitclaim, release, encumber, lease, or otherwise dispose of an interest in real property. The verb quitclaim sits in the statute itself. Other acts stay off that list, because MCL 556.301(1) lets an agent make a gift, create or change rights of survivorship, or act on an inter vivos trust only where the power expressly grants it. A quitclaim at market value is a sale; a quitclaim for a dollar is a gift, and the figure on the deed tells them apart.
Three entries for the power, one line for the signature
The form recites one individual Grantor and one attorney-in-fact, and it gives the power of attorney a numbered section of its own: the date the principal signed it, the liber and page or instrument number where it has been recorded, and the authority relied on. Below that sit one signature line, one printed-name line carrying the agent's name and capacity, and one certificate naming the agent as attorney-in-fact for the owner, so the name under the signature matches the name in the certificate, as MCL 565.201(1)(a) and (1)(b) contemplate. Configurations presenting this pattern run through Michigan land records: an owner who has moved into a care community while an adult child holds the durable power, an owner living out of state on the closing date, a parcel sold while its owner is medically unable to appear. What the form is not set up as: a deed the owner signs personally, a deed reciting two record owners, an entity deed whose signer acts under a business statute, or a deed by a personal representative, conservator, or trustee, whose authority is a will, a court order, or a trust instrument rather than an agency the owner created.
The power of attorney is recording material too
Michigan land records have carried powers of attorney since 1846. MCL 565.36 provides that a letter of attorney containing a power to convey lands may be recorded in the county where the land sits, once acknowledged, and that the record of it reads in evidence like a recorded conveyance. MCL 565.37 provides that a recorded power is not deemed revoked by any act of the principal unless the revocation is recorded in the same office. Title practice puts the power of record with or ahead of the deed for that reason, and Michigan Land Title Standard 3.17 is titled for the strict construction given a power of attorney to convey an interest in real property.
Filing where the land sits
Recording happens at that county's register of deeds, at the $30.00 instrument fee of MCL 600.2567, subject to the charter-county schedule Wayne County adopted for 2026. MCL 565.201 governs receipt: one recordable event on the first line of print, an unprinted two and one half inches atop page one, 12 point black type on white 20 pound stock, the grantee's address, and the drafter's business address. Total value appears on the face for the two transfer tax acts, with a citation line for the state exemption list and a second for the county list.
The download delivers this deed as a blank fillable PDF, a completed example filled in for an Ottawa County sale, and a plain language guide to every section, the agent's acknowledgment of duties, the notarization, and recording, including the Property Transfer Affidavit the new owner files with the local assessor. Often searched as a quit claim deed signed under a POA or by power of attorney. The materials describe Michigan law in general terms and are not legal advice.

I ended up loading the same file twice and was unable to delete one of them. I did send e request in to have one deleted and I did get a response back that only one file was processed. This was done in a timely manner but required more additional time. It would have been nice to be able to delete the file myself and finish the process at the same time. Other than this every thing did go very well. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It's useful to have forms specific to the County as well as the State. The examples are also helpful, but it would be even more helpful to see an example of a complete and successfully filed package. I will go the County Recorder's Office to see if I can find an example there.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
