Lifetime Property Rights Explained

Summary

If you have lifetime rights to a property in Maryland, you generally have the right to occupy the property for life. However, these rights do not typically include the ability to sell or rent the property. If the ownership of the property has been transferred, your lifetime rights should still be honored. For precise legal advice, consult a local attorney.
