Property: other; act validating conveyances made by attorney in fact; revise gender-specific language. Amends sec. 2 of 1861 PA 21 (MCL 565.602). TIE BAR WITH: HJR F'25

HB 4614 updates Michigan law to replace gender-specific terms in property deed rules. It revises Section 2 of 1861 PA 21 (MCL 565.602) to change "husband and wife" to "spouses," ensuring deeds executed jointly by couples through a joint power of attorney are valid regardless of gender. This directly affects married or domestic partners using joint power of attorney to transfer property, making the law inclusive for all couples. The bill requires approval of a constitutional amendment (via HJR F'25 or S00781'25) before taking effect.
