How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Land Contract in Michigan

In 2025, a personal client in Michigan sought assistance with drafting a land contract to facilitate the sale of their recently purchased house to their daughter and her fiancé. The client needed a legally sound agreement that outlined the terms of the transaction, ensuring that the buyers would make monthly payments, assume responsibility for maintenance and repairs, and address potential issues related to non-payment or property damage. It was crucial for the client to have clear terms regarding the eventual sale price and the responsibilities of both parties throughout the duration of the contract. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $900, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
