Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 565. Conveyances of Real Property § 565.331

Sec. 1. That whenever it shall be made to appear to any court of record by petition duly verified that a sale of real estate has or may hereafter be made in pursuance of a decree or order, or to satisfy any judgment of such court, and that a deed has been made therein, and said deed has not been recorded in the proper registry of deeds, but has been lost or destroyed; said court, upon due proof of such fact, may by order to be made in the cause in which such decree, order, or judgment was entered, direct a new deed to be made in place of the said original deed so lost or destroyed; said deed, when executed, may be acknowledged and recorded in the proper registry of deeds, and shall be as valid to convey the interest sold, and it, or the record thereof, shall have the same effect as evidence as said original deed would have.
