Two parcels of land in Michigan might both be 40 acres. One of those parcels might still be eligible to create several new parcels. In other words, there might be several splits available, while the other parcel might not be able to do any splits, might not be able to be divided at all. The difference often comes down to how the Michigan Land Division Act calculates division rights.
