Questions answered? Let's get started!
Married couples in Indiana may hold title to real estate as tenants by the entireties. This means that when one spouse dies, the other gains full ownership of the property by function of law, and without the need for probate. Use this instrument to formalize the acceptance of ownership rights conveyed when a spouse dies. Complete and sign the affidavit and submit it, along with a certified copy of the decedent's death certificate, to the recorder for the county where the real estate is located.
In order to gain full ownership, the husband or wife submits a completed affidavit of surviving spouse, along with an official copy of the death certificate of the deceased spouse, to the recorder for the county where the land is located.
This does not, however, remove the deceased's name from the deed. To accomplish that, the survivor must execute and record a new deed from the married couple to the remaining spouse only. After completing this final step, the public record and current deed will contain the most up-to-date information.

The staff of DEEDS.COM is in a class of excellence all by themselves! From my own personal experience, I had multiple problems with some documents I was submitting. DEEDS.COM stayed with me and held my hand through the project until it was completed! I have never met the staff at DEEDS, but their personal service & professionalism make me feel like part of the DEEDS Family! If I ever need legal documents submitted to government agencies nationwide ever again, THE ONLY STOP ONLINE I WILL MAKE WILL BE DEEDS.COM!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This is the first time I am filling out a legal form downloaded from a website. Throughly impressed with the detailed explanation along with sample forms to help a novice like me to fill out the actual form. I will remember to go to your site if I need in the future and have already recommended your site to others. Thanks for an excellent job.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

For the most part the process went smoothly. However, I have some suggestions to make the photo verification process better. 1) State up front that you must configure your appearance to conform with the photo on your state issued ID. In other words, take off you glasses if you are not wearing them in the photo. I know you issued that suggestion AFTER a couple of failed attempts. 2) I do not need glasses for driving, but I do need them for reading and close up work. I had difficulty reading the instructions about turning my head right and left on the screen without my glasses.
Thank you, Thomas. Both suggestions are fair and we have passed them along for the ID verification step. Glad the rest of the process went smoothly.

This service is amazing! We have tried several other online recording services which all disappointed. Deeds.com got all three of our documents recorded same day as invoice payment. Thank you for the quick turn around! We will be using this service often.
We are sincerely grateful for your feedback and are committed to providing the highest quality service. Thank you for your trust in us.
