A Maryland Bargain and Sale Deed is a formal contract signed by two private parties, individuals or entities, who wish to convey a real estate title without any warranties. Prepare this agreement if the seller cannot promise the property title is free from encumbrances and liens and the purchaser is willing to take this risk. To make the deed enforceable, you need to comply with the requirements of the Maryland Revised Statutes: explicitly state the intention to create joint tenancy if necessary, acknowledge the grantor's wish to finalize the transaction, sign the agreement in the presence of a public officer, and pay all property taxes before registering the deed with the local land records department.
