I agree. That's why I told him that I need to see all the legal documents first. So I uploaded my situation while I waited for him to gather/look for those documents. Needed some advice and guidance. Which I am grateful for everyone's input. Btw a new deed was drafted & sign. where he grants the State highway admin of the MD Dept of transportation its successors and assigns forever in fee simple, all rights .... all the land... then includes the square feet and so on. Now that's clear.
