Federal Law Established the Boundaries of Michigan Lands and Waters

Lake Property Law, PLC has developed a base of knowledge in the Property and Supremacy Clauses of the U.S. Constitution and the statutes enacted by Congress pursuant thereto for the survey of Michigan townships, sections, subsections and water boundaries. These surveys can never be disturbed by any state statute or court decision.

 

Areas of Practice

Property by a lake

Riparian Rights

Is it a myth that if I get my property description to get a little bit into the lake I'll have riparian rights?

Buying Lake Property

Has bottomland title of a body of water already been determined by the federal government?

Selling Lake Property

Should I get an attorney prior to signing a property disclosure statement or a purchase agreement with a buyer?

Land and Bottomland Ownership

Can I presently use the same survey plats (maps) as the pioneers did to determine if a lake is riparian?

Everything About Docks: Length, Width, Location

Must a body of water be meandered prior to installing a dock at these public or private accesses?

Wouldn't it be better to let the kids work out cottage succession issues?

Use of Inland Lakes by the Public

Wrongful State and Local Bottomland Regulation

Could state land courts be an answer to the lack of judicial understanding of federal laws and the public land survey system?

Additional Areas of Practice

Does over 40 years of practice in the real estate area qualify an attorney as an expert?
