Contracts

In Michigan, when a property sale closes, the final transfer of title from seller to buyer is accomplished by:

ASigning the purchase agreement
BDelivery and acceptance of a properly executed deed✓ Correct
CThe buyer's final mortgage payment
DRecording the deed with the register of deeds

Explanation

Title transfers from seller to buyer at the moment of delivery and acceptance of the deed (with the grantor's intent to convey). Recording perfects the buyer's title against third parties but is not what causes the actual transfer of title.
