Senior Rights after sale
Senior Rights after sale
We purchased property, had a survey and recorded it. Neighbor had no survey but recently had one done. There is an overlap. He is stating senior rights as he bought first. However, we are in MI which has a race notice statute. We have the first recorded deed on our property at the county. However it was recorded 22 years ago by the original owner and he has since sold and now we own the parcel. At the county it shows our deed was recorded a year before the neighbor. Do senior rights continue on to the new owner or is the neighbor right that he has senior rights because he bought first?
