No, Maryland does not recognize transfer on death deeds. These types of deeds allow for property to transfer to a named recipient as soon as the property owner dies. The purpose of transfer on death deeds is to avoid probate.

A deed must be notarized (signed in person before a notary public). A "lien certificate" must be attached, if required. This will show any unpaid taxes or liens on the property which must be paid before property can be deeded or transferred. A "State of Maryland Land Instrument Intake Sheet" must be filled out.

If one person owns a parcel of property in fee simple, she has the most complete form of ownership allowed by law. She may do with the property practically anything she chooses. The estate lasts perpetually and may be transferred from heir to heir.

Life Estate WITH Powers. Under this type of Deed, the Life Tenant is not restricted from doing anything the Life Tenant would like to do with the property including selling, gifting, leasing, conveyancing or mortgaging the property.
