Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Many duplexes in AA County, Maryland are separately deeded. The deed itself is a relatively simple document. However, if your property currently consists of a single lot or is not zoned to have duplexes, you will need to obtain county approval first and legally divide up the land into 2 separate "legal" lots. Usually this means going through a subdivision process which can be a long and expensive proposition and may or may not be available depending on your zoning classification.

You are encouraged to consult with an attorney who can review your current deed structure and offer advice on the best way to proceed. My office offers a no-cost initial phone consult of up to 10 min and does basic deeds for a flat fee, or you are welcome to contact some other Maryland firm of your choosing.
