How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Land Use Restriction Agreement in Michigan

In 2023, a homeowner in Michigan posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a land use restriction agreement. The client needed to modify the routing of an existing drainage tile that crossed their property, which was obstructing the construction of an outbuilding. Both parties involved had verbally agreed to the modification, and the client was willing to cover all costs, while ensuring that any rerouted drainage would be protected in the event of a future property sale. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $275 to $499, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than a week.
