LANSING, Mich. (July 23, 2026) — Today, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed Senate Bills 585–586 into law, bipartisan legislation to strengthen and protect the rights of individuals placed in guardianships during property or real estate sales. Sen. Jeff Irwin (D-Ann Arbor), sponsor of Senate Bill 585, has issued the following statement in response:
“Vulnerable adults placed into guardianship deserve to have their rights protected. Once signed into law, my bill requires a professional appraisal before the sale of real estate owned by an adult placed in guardianship. This measure provides accountability and clarity, protecting the assets of people placed under guardianship.”
This legislation protects the rights of individuals placed in guardianships by requiring a court to find that a change of residence is in the best interest of the person under guardianship and mandating professional appraisals be made before any real estate is sold.
