Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Thankfully for couples in such situations, Maryland law allows a husband and wife to own property jointly as "tenants by the entireties" This means that the marriage unit owns the property and while the home is owned by the married couple the creditors of either the husband or wife individually won't be able to attach / place a judgment lien on the house.

(Keep in mind that if one of the spouses dies and the home then is owned by one person individually any creditors existing at that point could attach the individually owned house just like they could any other asset).

My firm routinely does deeds adding a husband or wife onto title. Obviously the spouse on the deed needs to initiate this but assuming they do it is a relatively straight-forward process. While this is not legal advice, I hope this information helps!
