US - Oct 12, 2026 - A Michigan couple bought land at a 2015 tax sale and claimed a 50-foot strip lost through a 1965 deed error; after two surveys put it with their neighbour, an appeals court ruled against them - A Michigan couple has lost a legal battle over a 50-foot-wide strip of land they claimed was wrongly excluded from their property because of an error in a 1965 deed. The couple, who bought their land at a 2015 tax sale, argued that previous owners had used the disputed area for decades. However, two surveys placed the land within their neighbour's property. On October 9, 2026, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled against the couple, citing insufficient evidence to establish ownership.
