How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Affidavit of Ownership in Maryland

In 2026, an individual in Maryland sought assistance with the preparation of an affidavit of ownership related to their annuity sale. Given the legal requirements in the state, the client needed an attorney to draft the affidavit to facilitate the transaction with a company ready to purchase a portion of the annuity. The client preferred a flat fee arrangement for these legal services to ensure clarity and manage costs effectively. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $295 to $2,000, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than a week.
