Questions answered? Let's get started!
These forms are used for financing residential property, condominiums, rental units, small commercial, vacant land, and planned unit developments. They include special provisions and exhibit pages making them adaptable and flexible for unique situations. Ohio recognizes dower rights, which means that if a married man or woman owns an interest in real property, his or her spouse holds a 1/3 interest in the property, Review Oh. statute 2103.02. Dower rights can become problematic when it comes to mortgages. Oftentimes, banks require a release of dower if only one spouse is on the promissory note. Otherwise, if the paying spouse defaults, a spouse may be able to enforce their dower rights if the spouse is not on the deed. This mortgage can release rights of dower if applicable to the situation. These forms have stringent default terms, typical uses - lender who is financing investment property, owner financing, etc.

I used deeds.com to complete a gift deed for transferring a house to our son. Finding the correct form and completing it correctly was extremely easy due to wonderful explanations and examples provided with the purchase of the form. The registrar filing the deed told me she was impressed with the work we did. An attorney would have charged $150 so the $28.00 was well worth the money.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The deed is presently at the auditors office and will be recorded after approval from zoning board. As far as I know, everything is going along well. A self addressed envelope was left at recorder's office for return after recording is complete.
Thank you!

It would be really nice if you had an example of the document full size that can be examined/read before having to pay. I was gambling that it was the exact document that I needed when I paid my fee. Fortunately, it was, and I commend you for that.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
