Maryland Real Estate Deed Preparation & Recording
Practice Areas
Helping You Legally and Confidently Transfer Property Ownership
When you need to change or transfer ownership of real estate in Maryland, you need more than just a form, you need legal accuracy and protection.
At The Law Office of LaSheena M. Williams, P.C., we help individuals and families across Montgomery County and throughout Maryland prepare and record legally valid deeds that reflect their intentions and comply with state law. Whether you’re transferring property to a spouse, removing a former partner, or planning your estate, our team ensures your real estate transfer is done correctly and securely.
What Is a Deed?
A deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real estate from one person or entity to another. It must meet Maryland legal requirements to be valid and must be recorded with the appropriate county land records office (e.g., Montgomery County Circuit Court Land Records Division).
Types of deeds we help prepare include:
- Quitclaim Deeds
- Deeds of Gift
- Life Estate Deeds
- Survivorship Deeds / Tenants by the Entirety
- Tenants in Common / Joint Tenancy Deeds
- Trust Transfer Deeds
- Deeds for Divorce or Separation Agreements
- Corrective Deeds / Deed Modifications
Why You Might Need a Deed Transfer in Maryland
We help clients with deed services during many major life transitions, including:
Divorce or Separation
Removing one spouse from a jointly owned home as part of a property settlement agreement.
Estate Planning or Probate
Transferring property to a trust, heirs, or a life estate to avoid probate.
Gifting Property
Transferring ownership to a child, relative, or loved one using a Deed of Gift.
Property Ownership Updates
Adding or removing a co-owner, correcting legal names, or modifying outdated deeds.
Asset Protection and Trust Planning
Transferring property into a revocable living trust or other estate planning vehicle.
Each situation is different, and the wrong type of deed or a poorly executed transfer could lead to title issues, unintended tax consequences, or disputes down the road.
Why a DIY Deed Can Be Risky
It’s tempting to download a blank deed form online, but real estate law in Maryland is complex and full of potential traps. Even a small error, like using the wrong vesting language or failing to properly sign or record, can cause major legal problems later.
Incorrect deeds may:
- Fail to transfer ownership as intended
- Cause disputes among heirs or co-owners
- Invalidate estate plans
- Create unexpected tax consequences
- Complicate future sales or refinances
That’s why it’s crucial to have your deed prepared or reviewed by an experienced Maryland deed attorney.
