FAQs
A typical home sale in Maryland involves a purchase agreement, a deed conveying title (usually a warranty deed), and various disclosure forms. Additional addenda may address financing contingencies, inspections, or personal property included in the sale.
Yes, deeds and many other conveyancing documents in Maryland generally require notarization before they are accepted for recording at the county land records office. Having the document properly acknowledged protects the validity of the transfer.
A freehold interest — such as fee simple or a life estate — gives the holder an ownership stake in the real property itself. A leasehold interest gives the right to use and occupy the premises for a defined period under a lease, without ownership of the underlying land.
Maryland has statewide landlord-tenant statutes covering security deposit limits, required disclosures, habitability standards, and notice periods for termination. Some counties and municipalities add their own local requirements on top of state law.
A quitclaim deed is commonly used for transfers between family members, name changes after marriage, or adding a co-owner. Because it carries no title warranties, both parties should understand that the grantee receives only whatever interest the grantor actually holds at the time of transfer.
