Ohio Fiduciary Deed for Executors and Administrators
Probate is the legal process of settling and distributing a decedent's estate according to the terms of a probated will or laws of intestate succession. In the context of estate administration, a fiduciary is either an executor (when named in a will) or an administrator (when the decedent dies without a will or does not name an executor) assigned by the court of common pleas to administer the decedent's estate.
If the estate's assets are insufficient to pay debts, the fiduciary may need to sell the decedent's property. Fiduciaries must obtain the court's permission to sell assets from the estate, unless authorized or directed by the decedent's will.
In Ohio, executors and administrators use fiduciary deeds to convey real property from an estate to a purchaser pursuant to a court order. A fiduciary deed is a statutory form (R.C. 5302.09) containing fiduciary covenants that the grantor is the duly appointed, qualified, and acting fiduciary, and that he or she is authorized to make the sale and conveyance of the within described real property. Additionally, the grantor covenants with the grantee that in the proceedings of the sale, he or she has complied with statutory requirements (5302.10).
A fiduciary deed names the executing fiduciary's as grantor, and identifies the county and case number in which the decedent's estate is opened in probate. The deed states the amount of consideration the grantee is paying for the transfer of title, and titles the property in the name and manner of vesting of the grantee.
Deeds in Ohio require a recital of the grantor's source of title, including the prior instrument volume and page numbers. A full legal description of the subject parcel is required. Any restrictions on the property should also be noted. The executing fiduciary must sign the deed in the presence of a notary public before recording in the county where the subject property is located.
The information provided here is not a substitute for legal advice. Consult an attorney licensed in the State of Ohio with questions regarding fiduciary deeds, as each situation is unique.

I was surprised how helpful the completed example was. It was nice to see what the form should look like when it is filled out. Great job!

The form was easy to fill out. The only problem I had was on the Notary page I live in a different state than the property and I couldn't change the name of the state or county where the notary had to sign.
Thanks Lindsay, we appreciate your feedback.

The process was easy and cost was reasonable. My only suggestion is to allow user the ability to shorten the space between the county and state and the space after the month. I needed to draw a line at the courthouse before they would file it.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I was very impressed. I needed a Grant Deed that would comply with Calif. law. I haven't tried to record it yet, but I think it's spot-on. References to statutes very helpful. I'm a retired Idaho attorney, and my first attempt was politely rejected by the recorder. (documentary transfer fee exemption, etc.)
Thank you!

Thank you! My husband and I went in the get notary stamps for a Special Warranty Deed and a Post Nuptial Agreement. The representative was very knowledgeable and thorough with the notary process. She made sure we read and understood all documents that we were signing and they required us to recite in sworn statements that everything there was true and understood! I will be using the notary service again at Bank of America! The representative was very respectful and had a nice smile the entire time to make our visit great!
Thank you!
