Our use of appointment time is most efficient if we have certain information available to us while talking with you. You can use this planning FORM to help you organize your thoughts and provide us with information that is important in analyzing and discussing your situation.

Businesses and Real Estate
Information about corporations and other businesses, as well as real estate tax assessment records can be viewed by visiting the website of the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) at https://sdat.dat.maryland.gov/
Please note: In our experience, information on the SDAT website is not always up to date and current. Also, real estate information found in assessments records is not at all equivalent to a search and examination of title -- the SDAT records may or may not be an accurate reflection of who owns a given parcel of land. Nonetheless, the records maintained by the SDAT can be a useful tool.
