A: Your situation is exactly why you need an attorney. Hire a competent local attorney to conduct a title search, then prepare an enforceable Deed. There are title problems that cannot be cured, and you do not want to have one. The cost should be minimal.
A: Providing you with the perspective of a Maine attorney, I agree with Attorney Avery. You are well-advised to speak with a lawyer about your situation. You can explain your situation to him or her and ask for an estimate of the cost upfront.
