What is this area of law? A land contract forfeiture is a Michigan court proceeding that terminates a buyer's (vendee's) interest in a property when they default on payment obligations under the land contract agreement.
Land contracts offer sellers a powerful tool for property recovery when buyers default. Our attorneys have extensive experience navigating both forfeiture and foreclosure proceedings under Michigan law.
