Opinion
No. 140423.
May 26, 2010.
reported below: 286 Mich App 435.
Leave to Appeal Granted.
The parties shall include among the issues to be briefed: (1) whether a "conveyance" within the meaning of MCL 211.27a(3), (6), or (7) must be by means of a written instrument; (2) if so, whether the deed creating the joint tenancy qualifies as such an instrument; (3) whether the transfer of title to the petitioner in this case meets the exception of MCL 211.27a(7)(h); (4) whether the transfer of title to the petitioner and his brother as joint tenants meets the exception of MCL 211.27a(7)(h); (5) whether this last issue is properly preserved; and (6) if not, whether this Court should nevertheless consider this issue to avoid a "miscarriage of justice." Napier v Jacobs, 429 Mich 222, 232-233 (1987).
Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
