hello I need some one to guide me in this. my wife just recently came to know that she owns a shop in maryland now she doesnt have any documen claiming that she owns the property she only has its license number and the name of the shop. the said shop is run by her father who left them long ago and to avoid tax problem he bought different properties on his children name and this shop is one of those. now question is can my wife could confirm the ownership of that shop through license number or name of the shop if yes then how and from which department? secondly that shop happens to be on her name then how can she could get the duplicate ownership documents and from which department. please help us in this regard thank you. the shop is in maryland.
