A beneficiary of an interest in property in Ohio can disclaim all or part of a bequeathed interest in, or power over, that property under Ohio Revised Code 5815.36, as long as it has not been accepted through actions that indicate ownership or through a written waiver of the right to disclaim (Sec. J).
The written disclaimer must identify the donative instrument, which is the document that established the interest, such as a will or a transfer on death designation affidavit. The disclaimer also must contain a description of the disclaimed interest and a declaration of the disclaimer and its extent (Sec. B (3)). It must be signed by the disclaimant or a legally authorized representative
Depending on the donative instrument, the disclaimer must be filed, recorded and/or delivered pursuant to 5815.36 Sec. F as follows.
* If the interest is created by a non-testamentary instrument, including a transfer on death designation affidavit, the disclaimer must be delivered to the trustee or other person who holds legal title or possession of the property.
* In the case of an interest in real estate a transfer on death designation affidavit, the disclaimer must be filed with the recorder of the county in which the real property is located.
* If the interest is created by a testamentary instrument or by intestate succession, file the document in the probate division of the court of common pleas in the county in which proceedings for the administration of the decedent's estate have been commenced. In addition, deliver in person or send by certified mail an executed copy of the disclaimer instrument to the personal representative of the decedent's estate.
* If the interest is in real estate, execute a copy of the disclaimer and submit in the office of the recorder of the county in which the property is situated.
The Ohio statute is consistent with the Internal Revenue Code Section 2518, which requires that the disclaimer must be received no later than 9 months after the transfer is made (e.g. date of death). In order to be effective, the disclaimer must be irrevocable and binding to the disclaimant and all who claim under him or her (Sec. E). Be sure to consult an attorney when in doubt about the drawbacks and benefits of disclaiming inherited property.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.
Thank you, Ronald. We're glad you found the forms easy to download, though we're sorry to hear about the printing and fill-in experience. Our forms are designed to be fillable and printable using free software like Adobe Reader. If you ever run into issues, our support team is happy to help!

Fast, efficient, and helpful. I don't often have documents that need recording but I found Deeds.com incredibly handy. It cost me no more and probably less than if I'd gone in to do it myself. It was especially helpful during this Covid-19 stay-at-home time. It all happened within a couple of hours and I had my recorded copies in my hands.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The paperwork/forms are fine, but there isn't enough explanation for me to figure out how to file the extra forms (which I do need in my case). The main form, Deed Upon Death is fine. I think the price is pretty high for these forms. I wouldn't have purchased it because there are places to get them for much cheaper (about 6 dollars), but this site had the extra forms I wanted (property in a trust and another form). Unfortunately these were included as a "courtesy" and there are no instructions for them. So three stars for being clear about what was in the package, having the right forms that I need, but instructions for putting them to use and price took a couple of stars off. Downloading was easy and once you download you can type the info into the PDF--that makes working with the forms much easier.
Thank you for the feedback Maria. Regarding the supplement documents, it is best to get assistance from the agency that requires them. These are not legal documents, they should provide full support and guidance for them.

I did this on a desktop using a scanned .pdf file. Simple, straight-forward, excellent instructions, easy, fast, and well documented for each step. From account creation to proof of recording: 4 hours... from the comfort of my home. I would highly recommend this service to anyone, including - and maybe especially - those who are looking for fast recording who aren't well versed in computers and on-line processes. Well done in all ways.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Easy to use website and immediate documents appropriate for my area. My only complaint is that the forms had an alignment problem where the fields that were filled in by me did not line up with the template text. I tried to correct it to no avail so I ended up having to retype the entire document. I purchased two templates and both had the same issue.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
