Questions answered? Let's get started!
Maryland does not assume that two people who own property together intend the survivor to take the whole. Real Property Article Section 2-117 presumes the opposite: a deed to co-owners who are not married to each other is a tenancy in common, where each share passes through the deceased owner's estate, unless the deed expressly says the property is held in joint tenancy. A Maryland survivorship deed supplies that express language, conveying to two grantees who hold as joint tenants with survivorship.
The express words Maryland requires
The whole point of this deed is the language Section 2-117 demands. The form states that the two grantees take as joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common, and adds the express provision that the property is held in joint tenancy. With those words in place, the right of survivorship attaches: when one joint tenant dies, that tenant's interest vests in the surviving joint tenant by operation of law, outside probate.
A present conveyance, not a death-time designation
This deed transfers an interest now. The grantor conveys the property to the two grantees during the grantor's life, and each grantee holds a present, equal, undivided interest once the deed is delivered. That sets it apart from a transfer on death deed, which Maryland did not recognize for real property when this form was prepared and which passes nothing until death. Once this deed is delivered, the grantor cannot undo it alone; the grantees own their interests, and survivorship runs between them.
Adding an owner without a straw deed
Real Property Article Section 4-108 lets a grantor make a direct grant of a joint tenancy interest, including to the grantor as one of the grantees, with no straw man in the middle. A sole owner placing title in herself and an adult child as joint tenants can do that in this one deed, and the form recites that authority.
What the special warranty covers
Maryland deeds carry no implied warranty of title, so a deed conveys only the covenant its words supply. This form uses the special warranty words of Section 2-106, under which the grantor warrants and defends the property against any lawful claim by, through, or under the grantor, and no further. The grantees take subject to liens, easements, and other matters of record, and a joint tenancy lacks the creditor protection a tenancy by the entirety gives a married couple. A married couple that wants survivorship together ordinarily takes title as tenants by the entirety; a general warranty deed adds the broad covenant of Section 2-105 against every lawful claim of any person.
Recording in Maryland
The deed is recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the county where the property sits, with a completed Land Instrument Intake Sheet for the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. Maryland requires a certificate of preparation on the deed before the clerk records it, certifying that a Maryland attorney prepared or supervised it, or that a party named in the deed prepared it; the form carries that certificate. The package includes the fillable deed, a completed Anne Arundel County example, and a plain language guide covering each section, the acknowledgment, the intake sheet, and the transfer and recordation taxes. These materials are informational and are not legal advice.

The staff at Deeds.com was very patient and ensured the deed was in the correct format for recording. Had I tried to record it myself, it would have been rejected, as I did not have the home address for the 2 witnesses. I would definitely recommend deeds.com
Thanks for the kind words, Daniel. Witness address requirements catch a lot of people off guard. Glad we could get everything squared away before it hit the recorder's desk. We appreciate the recommendation.

Deeds.com was such a blessing in order for me to get something done that my lawyers could not get done. Transferring a mineral right from my deceased parents to me and my husband. The mineral company person I worked with went above and beyond helping me fill the paperwork out perfectly so that it had “right of survivorship” (and other things phrased properly) so that either my husband or I won’t have the issue I have had. Had it not been for deeds.com I don’t think I would have been able to complete this process. I hope anyone that ever needs something such as this learns about I deeds.com.
Thank you, Julia, for your kind and thoughtful review. We're truly honored to have played a role in helping you and your husband secure your mineral rights — especially after such a frustrating experience elsewhere. It’s great to hear that our team and resources were able to guide you through the process with clarity and care. Your words mean a lot to us, and we hope others in similar situations find the support they need through Deeds.com, just like you did. Wishing you continued peace of mind and security with your property.
