It's won't hold up Patrick. There's much more involved than you've stated above in getting the property out of her name and in yours. You NEED to consult a Maryland real estate attorney -- do this right the first time, do it is cheaply as possible, and move on knowing that it won't come back to bite you. Seems worth a few dollars in attorney fees.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.********

You need to contact the LawGuru administrators ASAP to remove your post entirely as it has your fill name. That is not appropriate and not good for you to now have it public information. It should have been rejected so you could fix it instead of answered (especially using your name in the response).
