Residential Transactions
For residential clients, we provide full-service representation throughout the entire settlement process.

We routinely assist with matters involving home inspections, appraisal gaps, title exceptions, boundary disputes, and estate sales, ensuring a smooth path to the closing table.
Commercial Transactions
For commercial transactions, we function as a true attorney-led settlement partner — not just a processor. Our team is equipped to handle every phase of a commercial deal, including:
We understand the timing, complexity, and documentation standards required by lenders, developers, and institutional investors — and we meet them with efficiency.
We begin working on your file immediately upon receiptof the following three items:
These documents can be returned by email or dropped off in person — whichever is more convenient for you. Once received, we immediately initiate the title search, begin coordinating with lenders and agents, and prepare all necessary documentation for a smooth closing process.
Our goal is to keep your transaction moving forward without delay.
Your file will be overseen by an attorney, with direct support from our experienced title processors, Abigail Gorman and Jen Ketner, who will serve as your day-to-day points of contact — they’ll guide you through each step of the process, answer questions, and coordinate all necessary documentation.

A title examinationis a foundational part of every real estate closing. It is a detailed review of the public records related to the property — including deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, easements, and restrictions — to ensure the seller has clear, legal ownership and the right to transfer title to you.
At Williams, Moore, Shockley & Harrison, LLP, we perform every title examination with attorney oversight. We identify and address issues before they become problems at closing.
During this examination, we’re looking to confirm:
Even a seemingly small defect — like a typo in a prior deed or an unpaid lien from a previous owner — can cause major legal and financial complications for a buyer if not identified and corrected before closing.
An Owners Policy is highly recommended.
While a thorough title exam reduces risk, it cannot detect every potential problem. Hidden defects — such as forged documents, clerical errors, undisclosed heirs, or claims that surface after closing — can still arise.
Owner’s title insurance protects your property rights by covering legal costs or financial losses that result from covered title defects. It’s a one-time premium paid at closing, and the policy remains in effect for as long as you or your heirs own the property.
While not required by law in Maryland, owner’s title insurance is strongly recommended by our firm, the Maryland Land Title Association (MLTA), and national title insurers. Mortgage lenders require a separate lender’s policy to protect their interest — owner’s coverage protects yours.
If you choose to decline owner’s title insurance, you will be required to sign a waiver and indemnify our firm, Williams, Moore, Shockley & Harrison, LLP, from any liability related to title defects or claims that may arise after closing.
We include a detailed explanation of owner’s title insurance in our client packet and are happy to answer any questions about coverage prior to settlement.
At Williams, Moore, Shockley & Harrison, LLP, we believe the settlement process should be predictable, reliable, and transparent. We work hard to ensure you have a full understanding of all closing costs well before the day of settlement. Our team provides updated settlement statements throughout the transaction, so you are always aware of any changes as they occur — never caught off guard.
While specific costs may vary depending on the property, location, and lender requirements, the following is a general estimate of the fees you can expect in a Maryland residential real estate closing:
Attorney Fees:
Third-Party Fees (estimates):
Title Insurance-Related Fees:
Please note: Any services outside the scope of a standard residential real estate transaction — such as contract negotiation, dispute resolution, or the preparation of custom legal documents — will be billed separately at our firm’s hourly rate.
To ensure a smooth closing, all settlement funds must be delivered in advance of closing using one of the following approved methods:
If you choose to send funds via wire transfer, it is critical that you review the instructions carefully. Wire fraud is a growing threat in real estate transactions, and we take it very seriously. Our firm will never change wire instructions by email — if you receive revised instructions, call our office immediately to verify their authenticity.
We understand that sometimes circumstances change and a buyer may need to cancel prior to settlement. In those cases, we will assist in coordinating the release of the earnest money deposit in collaboration with any involved agents, and help facilitate a resolution that aligns with the terms of your contract.
Even if your transaction does not close, you will remain responsible for any out-of-pocket third-party costs already incurred— such as the title search, courier fees, wire fees, and other direct expenses. Additionally, our office will invoice for time spent on your file based on time expended on the transaction.
We’re here to help make the process as smooth and transparent as possible — whether or not the deal reaches the closing table.
Yes. You may select how you wish to hold title to the property. The form of ownership you choose will be reflected on the deed and may have legal, tax, and estate planning implications. Common options include:
We are happy to discuss the title vesting options with you or your advisors in advance of settlement to ensure that your interests and long-term goals are protected. The buyer listed on the contract is the legal purchaser. If you wish to change how title is held — such as adding a trust or entity — we’re happy to coordinate any necessary amendments with the seller and agents involved.
If you or another buyer cannot attend the closing in person, please contact our office as early as possible. We routinely coordinate remote or mail-away settlements and will make every effort to arrange a signing process that meets your needs while complying with legal and lender requirements.
Whenever possible, we work with approved remote notaries and secure identity verification platforms to facilitate off-site closings. Your cooperation will be required to complete the necessary verification steps.
If your transaction involves a loan, please note that your lender must approve any remote or alternative signing arrangements. We will coordinate with your lender directly to determine what options are available.
Depending on the location, timing, and method of signing, additional charges may apply — for example, remote notary fees, overnight delivery, service charges, or third-party service costs.
We are committed to making the settlement process as smooth, flexible, and secure as possible, regardless of where you are.
Estate administration is the legal process of settling a deceased person's affairs and distributing their assets. In Maryland, this process is typically carried out by a court-appointed Personal Representative (also called an Executor) and involves several key responsibilities, including: (1) Identifying and valuing assets, (2) Paying debts, taxes, and final expenses (3) Filing legal and probate documents with the Register of Wills and Orphans’ Court, and (4) Distributing the remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries
At Williams, Moore, Shockley & Harrison, LLP, we assist Personal Representatives through each stage of administration.
We recognize that probate can be a stressful process, and we understand the complex family, legal, and financial dynamics that often come with it. Our team is committed to helping you navigate the system efficiently and accurately. We maintain consistent communication, provide detailed updates, and ensure that all filings, deadlines, and legal requirements are properly completed and submitted — so you stay informed and compliant at every step.
At Williams, Moore, Shockley & Harrison, LLP, our role is to guide and support the Personal Representative through every stage of the Maryland probate process. While the Personal Representative is responsible for carrying out the administration of the estate, our firm provides the legal tools, structure, and representation needed to complete that role efficiently and with confidence.
We act as a resource and partner, handling and coordinating all matters related to estate administration — from court filings and statutory deadlines to asset management, creditor claims, and tax compliance.
Typical Scope of Services:
Our firm is more than just a filing service — we are your partner in navigating every step of probate, ensuring nothing is missed, and giving the Personal Representative the tools and guidance they need to fulfill their responsibilities with confidence.
Probate assets are solely owned by the decedent without a beneficiary designation. They must go through the probate process and be reported to the Register of Wills. Examples include:
Non-probate assets pass directly to a beneficiary or co-owner and are not subject to probate. Examples include:
The timeline for probate in Maryland varies depending on the complexity of the estate, but most administrations take between 9 and 18 months from opening the estate to final distribution. Some estates may be resolved sooner, particularly if the estate is small, uncontested, and involves minimal assets. Others — especially those involving real property, creditor claims, tax issues, or disputes among heirs — may take longer.
We work closely with the Personal Representative to keep the process moving forward efficiently, ensure all court deadlines are met, and minimize unnecessary delays. We provide consistent updates so you remain informed of the estate’s progress every step of the way.
Valuing estate assets accurately is a critical part of estate administration, as this information must be reported to the Register of Wills through the Inventory and Information Report. Maryland requires all values to reflect the fair market value as of the date of death, and supporting documentation must be maintained.
Our team will guide Personal Representatives in determining and documenting asset values appropriately and defensibly.
We assist with coordinating appraisals, requesting necessary financial documents, and organizing the information required to complete your Inventory and Information Report accurately and on time. If you're unsure how to value a specific asset, we’re here to help determine the best approach and ensure compliance with Maryland probate rules.
As the Personal Representative of an estate, it is essential to open a dedicated estate checking account as soon as possible after receiving Letters of Administration. This account must be used exclusively for estate-related financial activity — including depositing all incoming funds and paying all authorized estate expenses. Keeping estate finances separate from personal accounts is not only required under Maryland law but also makes your job far more manageable when it comes time to complete the formal court accountings.
At Williams, Moore, Shockley & Harrison, LLP, we guide clients through the process of opening the estate account, identifying what funds should be deposited (such as refunds, income, or sale proceeds), and clarifying which expenses are appropriate to pay from that account. We recommend that Personal Representatives retain all related documentation — including invoices, receipts, and bank statements — to ensure that disbursements can be easily traced and accounted for. These records are essential when preparing the Inventory, Information Report, and Administration Account required by the Register of Wills and Orphans’ Court.
By handling estate finances properly from the outset, you significantly reduce the likelihood of errors, delays, or additional court inquiries. This approach helps ensure that the administration proceeds smoothly and that you, as the Personal Representative, are fulfilling your fiduciary obligations with clarity and transparency. Our firm is always available to assist with questions about eligible expenses, reporting requirements, or organizing financial records throughout the estate process.
In Maryland, the Personal Representative is legally responsible for ensuring that all required tax returns related to the decedent and the estate are completed. This includes the decedent’s final individual income tax return, any unfiled prior-year returns, and, if applicable, the estate’s fiduciary income tax return. Our firm does not prepare tax returns and does not offer tax advice, nor do we determine which specific returns are required. We strongly recommend that the Personal Representative consult with a qualified accountant to determine the estate’s tax obligations.
In the effort of completing all necessary returns accurately and on time, we routinely work alongside CPAs and tax professionals. If the decedent had a trusted accountant, we suggest starting there. If not, we are happy to provide referrals to experienced CPAs familiar with estate administration. Our firm also assists by gathering financial documents, coordinating communications, and ensuring the accountant has what they need — streamlining the tax compliance process while keeping the Personal Representative informed and supported throughout.
If the decedent owned real estate located outside of Maryland, a secondary probate process — known as ancillary administration — will likely be required in the state where that property is located. Each state has its own probate laws and court procedures, and Maryland probate does not grant authority to transfer or sell out-of-state real estate.
We can advise Personal Representatives on how to address out-of-state assets early in the administration process. While we do not handle probate matters in other states directly, we routinely coordinate with trusted attorneys and title professionals across the country to ensure the property is properly administered and legally transferred in accordance with local laws.
Our role may include:
Our goal is to minimize delays, reduce complications, and ensure that all estate assets — in Maryland or elsewhere — are handled correctly and efficiently.
At Williams, Moore, Shockley & Harrison, LLP, we provide full-service, attorney-led assistance for forming Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) under Maryland law. Our goal is to ensure your business is not only legally compliant from day one, but also structured to meet your long-term goals.
We manage the entire legal formation process, including:
Many business owners start their companies using online platforms — only to discover later that key documents were incomplete, improperly structured, or unenforceable. With our firm, we can work with you to tailor organizational documents to meet any specific needs
We do not provide tax or accounting advice, nor do we determine your tax obligations. We recommend consulting a qualified CPA regarding income tax classification (e.g., default treatment vs. S-corp election) and ongoing compliance. If you need assistance, we are happy to provide referrals to trusted accountants we work with regularly.
We also do not provide ongoing business compliance services (e.g., annual filings, licensing, or renewals) unless separately agreed in writing.
When forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Maryland, one of the key decisions is how the business will be managed. There are two primary management structures: Member-Managed and Manager-Managed. The choice you make will affect how decisions are made, how authority is exercised, and how responsibilities are shared among owners.
We guide our clients through this important decision during the LLC formation process. We explain the legal and practical implications of each structure, and help ensure that your choice is clearly reflected in the Operating Agreement and other organizing documents. If your business has unique ownership dynamics, silent partners, or tiered roles, we will tailor the documents to address those complexities and avoid future disputes.
Our goal is to give you a structure that supports your business’s growth while minimizing confusion or legal exposure down the road.
To efficiently prepare and file your LLC formation documents, our office will collect a set of key details to ensure your company is legally compliant and accurately structured. These items form the foundation of both your Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement, and help us tailor your documents to meet your specific business goals.
We typically request the following:
Every Maryland LLC is required by law to designate a Registered Agent — sometimes referred to as a Resident Agent — when filing its Articles of Organization. The Registered Agent acts as the business’s official point of contact for legal notices, service of process, and government correspondence.
A Registered Agent must be either:
Yes. While the example above focuses on LLCs, we also assist with forming corporations, including preparing Articles of Incorporation, drafting bylaws, and providing initial corporate governance guidance.
Yes. We can apply for your Employer Identification Number (EIN) as part of the entity formation process.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify a business for federal tax purposes. It functions similarly to a Social Security Number, but for entities such as LLCs and corporations. Most businesses are required to obtain an EIN in order to open a business bank account, file federal or state taxes, hire employees, apply for business licenses or permits, and comply with ongoing IRS reporting obligations.
We can complete and submit the IRS application on your behalf — usually at the time of filing your Articles of Organization or Incorporation — to streamline the process.
Our legal fees for business entity formation vary based on the complexity of your business structure and the scope of services needed. We understand that no two businesses are the same — and our goal is to draft organizational documents that meet your business’s long-term needs, not just check a box for filing.
We bill on an hourly basis, with current attorney rates ranging from $275 to $375 per hour, and paralegal rates from $70 to $95 per hour. In addition to legal time, you may incur filing fees, courier costs, and other pass-through expenses (such as state filing fees and fees for obtaining an EIN).
For most standard Maryland LLCs or corporations, we are typically able to provide a cost estimate up front once we have reviewed your intake form and discussed your goals. More complex matters — such as those involving multiple members, custom voting provisions, layered ownership, or buy-sell arrangements — may require additional attorney time.
The timeline to form a business entity in Maryland depends largely on how filings are submitted and the current processing times at the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT).
Under standard processing, the formation of an LLC or corporation typically takes 2–4 weeks from the time of submission. However, for clients needing a quicker turnaround, SDAT offers expedited filing, which can reduce the processing time to approximately 1–4 business days, depending on agency volume.
Yes — Maryland allows you to use your home address as your LLC’s principal office, provided it is a valid Maryland street address (P.O. Boxes are not permitted).
The principal office is the official business address listed in your Articles of Organization and kept on file with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT). This address becomes part of the public record and is where the state may send official correspondence, such as annual report reminders, compliance notices, or legal documents.
Many small business owners and startups begin with a home-based principal office, especially during the early stages of business. As your business grows, you can amend the filing to reflect a commercial address.
To begin the LLC or corporate formation process, please contact the office of Peter Buas to request an intake form. Once completed, you may return it via email, or call (410) 289-3553 and ask to speak with a member of Peter Buas’s staff for assistance. You may also send an email inquiry directly to pb***@***sh.com, or contact Peter’s legal assistant, Abigail Gorman, at ag*****@***sh.com. Our team is available to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
A no consideration deed transfers ownership of real estate from one person or entity (the grantor) to another (the grantee) without any money being exchanged. These deeds are often used to transfer property between family members, to place property into a trust or business entity, or as part of estate planning.
Our team handles every step of the process — drafting the deed, coordinating its recordation with the land records office, and addressing any issues or questions that may arise along the way.
Yes. While anyone can attempt to draft and record a deed for their own property,, a no consideration deed is a binding transfer of real estate and must be done correctly to be valid. Errors in drafting, execution, or recordation can create title defects that may be expensive and time-consuming to fix later.
Our office prepares the deed to ensure it meets the state and county requirements, coordinates the recordation in the proper county land records, and addresses any questions that arise. Having an experienced real estate attorney involved helps protect your interests and gives you confidence that the transfer has been completed properly.
Our no consideration deed package provides a complete, start-to-finish service for transferring property. This includes:
Please note: Our services for a no consideration deed do not automatically include a title search, estate planning, or tax advice. However, our office does offer title services and estate planning services if separately retained. We do not provide tax advice.
No. Our standard no consideration deed service does not include a title examination. This means we do not verify ownership, liens, encumbrances, or other potential title issues as part of this flat-fee service. Clients should be aware of this limitation and may request a separate title search if they wish.
If desired, our office can provide title services under a separate engagement. This allows us to confirm clear ownership and identify any issues that could affect the transfer before the deed is recorded.
We offer this service on a fixed-fee basis, which covers drafting the deed, coordinating execution, and recording it with the county land records. This allows you to know the cost up front with no surprises.
If additional services are needed—such as a title search, estate planning advice, or related legal services—those can be provided under a separate engagement and are billed at our standard attorney or paralegal hourly rates.
For a current fee quote, please contact our office.
Legal Assistant Abigail Gormanis assigned to your file. You may contact her at ag*****@***sh.comor (410) 289-3553to schedule an appointment or address routine inquiries.
We use electronic signatures for our engagement letters and intake forms, which allows you to conveniently complete those portions of the process online. The deed itself, however, must be signed in person in the presence of a notary. If you cannot arrange a time to visit our office, we can coordinate a mail-away signing, where you sign before a notary near you. Alternatively, we can arrange for a traveling notary to come to you.
A Like-Kind Exchange—commonly called a 1031 Exchange—is a tax-deferral strategy under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code that allows investors to defer paying capital gains taxes when they sell an investment or business property, as long as the proceeds are reinvested into another qualifying property of equal or greater value. Rather than recognizing the gain and paying taxes immediately, the investor “exchanges” one property for another.
The proceeds from the sale of your original property cannot go directly to you—they must be deposited with a Qualified Intermediary and securely held until the purchase of the replacement property closes.
Our office can handle all aspects of a 1031 Exchange: drafting the required exchange documents, serving as the Qualified Intermediary to hold funds, and managing the strict deadlines that apply.
A 1031 Exchange must be arranged beforeyou sell your original property. Once that sale closes, you are responsible for meeting two strict deadlines. Within 45 days, you must identify in writing the property (or properties) you intend to purchase as your replacement. Within 180 days of the sale, you must complete the purchase of one or more of those identified properties. These timelines run at the same time — the 45 days are part of the 180-day window. If the deadlines are missed, the exchange will not qualify and the sale will be taxable. Because there are no extensions, it’s important to plan carefully and work with professionals who can guide the process and keep deadlines on track.
If no replacement property is formally identified within 45 days of selling your original property, the exchange will no longer qualify as a 1031 Exchange. At that point, the proceeds held by the Qualified Intermediary will be returned to you, and the transaction will be treated as a standard sale.
If the purchase of a replacement property is not completed within 180 days of the sale of your original property, the exchange will no longer qualify as a 1031 Exchange. At that point, the funds being held will be returned to you, and the transaction will be treated as a standard sale
Typical documents include:
No. A 1031 Exchange is limited to real property held for investment or business purposes. Personal residences, vacation homes primarily used for personal enjoyment, and property held strictly for personal use do not qualify. Only property held for productive use in a trade, business, or for investment is eligible.
Yes. You are not required to reinvest all of your sale proceeds into a replacement property. However, any portion of the funds that you choose not to reinvest will no longer qualify for tax deferral under the 1031 Exchange rules. Those leftover proceeds are commonly referred to as “boot,” and while they can be kept as cash, they are generally treated as taxable income.
By reinvesting the full amount, you maximize the tax-deferral benefit of the exchange. If you decide to reinvest only part of the proceeds, you will still receive some of the benefits of a 1031 Exchange, but only on the portion that is reinvested.
Yes. It is essential that you work with your accountant or tax advisor when planning a 1031 Exchange. A tax professional will ensure that the exchange is structured properly for your individual situation and that you receive the intended tax benefits.
Our role in the process is to manage the exchange deadlines, draft the required documentation, and serve as your Qualified Intermediary. We do not provide tax advice, and it is crucial that you coordinate with your CPA or tax advisor as part of the exchange.
In Maryland, when property taxes are not paid, the county or municipality will auction off a tax lien certificate—not the property itself—at a public tax sale. The certificate purchaser pays the delinquent taxes and, in return, receives a “Certificate of Sale”, giving the purchaser the right to collect repayment from the property owner. A tax sale foreclosure is the legal process that allows the purchaser of a tax lien certificate to become the owner of the property if the taxes remain unpaid.
The property owner still has the right to “redeem” the property by paying back the overdue taxes, interest, and certain expenses within a set period of time. If the owner does not redeem within that time, the certificate holder may file a foreclosure action in the Circuit Court to extinguish the owner’s redemption rights and obtain clear title to the property.
Tax sale foreclosures can be a complicated process, with strict statutory notice requirements and multiple procedural steps. Our firm has experience handling these cases across all counties in Maryland. We ensure every step is properly completed so that clear title can be conveyed to the tax lien purchaser, while also keeping you fully informed of the progress.
The length of a Maryland tax sale foreclosure depends on many factors, but it typically takes six months to a year from the time the foreclosure complaint is filed in Circuit Court. The process is not quick, because the law requires that specific notices be sent to the property owner, mortgage holders, and other interested parties, and each step carries waiting periods designed to protect the owner’s right of redemption.
If the property owner pays the taxes, interest, and costs before the court enters judgment, the case will be dismissed and the certificate holder will be reimbursed. If redemption does not occur, the court can ultimately enter a judgment foreclosing the owner’s rights and transferring title to the certificate holder.
Because every case involves strict notice and timing requirements—and sometimes delays if owners contest the action—our firm’s role is to keep the process moving forward, make sure all statutory steps are met, and keep you informed along the way.
Yes. If the property owner redeems the property, Maryland law allows you to be reimbursed for certain expenses you paid in connection with the foreclosure process. These reimbursements typically include:
These amounts are added to the redemption total the property owner must pay, meaning you should be made generally whole for most of your direct expenses. However, costs outside those specifically permitted by law may not be reimbursed, so it’s important to manage the process carefully.
In Maryland, a tax lien purchaser must wait a minimum period after the tax sale before filing a foreclosure action. The law provides:
Because of these timelines and notice requirements, it is important to act promptly and work with counsel to ensure that all statutory steps are met.
