The Maryland Notice of Appeal is a legal document filed with the court by a person or party appealing a decision or ruling of a lower court. This document formally announces the appealing party's intention to challenge the court's decision. Depending on the type of case, there are different types of Maryland Notice of Appeal, including criminal appeals, civil appeals, family law appeals, and probate appeals. In each case, the Notice of Appeal must include a statement of the facts and law on which the appealing party is relying, as well as their request for the court to review the decision. It must also include the name, address, and telephone number of the party filing the appeal. Additionally, a copy of the Notice must be served to the other parties involved in the case, and the filing fee must be paid in order to make the appeal official.
