Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Re: Deeds

You would have to prepare a new deed with the proper legal language, conveying the property to yourself and your daughter as grantees. If the document is not prepared properly, it will be invalid. If you want to try it yourself you can probably buy a form quitclaim deed at an office supply store. There are websites that offer such documents; LegalZoom.com has been doing a lot of tv advertising of late. If you are going to record the new deed in the land records you will also need to prepare an intake sheet for the recorder's office, and may also need an affidavit of consideration if there is an open mortgage on the property.

Also, bear in mind that if you've owned the property for any length of time, and assuming your daughter outlives you, there may be adverse tax consequences to her from doing this.
