Questions answered? Let's get started!
An Ohio deed signed under a power of attorney reaches the recorder second. The power of attorney goes on record first, in the same county, and Section 1337.04(C) of the Ohio Revised Code puts that sequence in the statute. This quitclaim deed form is built around it: one record owner stands as Grantor under Section 5302.11, an attorney-in-fact signs in that owner's name, and Section 3 carries the date of the power of attorney, its recording reference, and the authority relied on.
The instrument that goes on record first
Section 1337.04(C) has a power of attorney used to execute a real property instrument recorded where the property sits, ahead of the instrument executed under it. Senate Bill 94 of the 135th General Assembly, effective October 24, 2024, added a repair for a missed sequence: the power of attorney may go on record later, attached to a supporting affidavit by a person with knowledge of the facts, if it was executed and acknowledged no later than the day the deed was signed. Both are recorded separately, apart from this package.
A signature made in another person's name
Section 1337.02 states what the deed must contain and what it does: the name of the grantor, and a conveyance of that grantor's interest as fully as if the grantor had signed in person. Section 1337.03 absorbs the drafting variations Ohio practice produces, so such a deed, acknowledged and recorded, is not defective because the attorney is named as grantor, subscribes the attorney's own name, or acknowledges as the person who executed it as such attorney. Section 11 recites that the signer acts in the Grantor's name solely as attorney-in-fact, not individually.
How far the power of attorney reaches
The deed prints its authority rather than assuming it. Section 1337.45 lists what general authority over real property carries, and a quitclaim sits there beside sell, exchange, and encumber. Section 1337.42(A) marks the acts needing an express grant, gifts among them, so a conveyance for no consideration answers to that grant and to Section 1337.58, and Section 1337.42(B) bars an agent who is no ancestor, spouse, or descendant of the principal from creating an interest in the agent.
The dower line no agent can sign
Ohio keeps dower, producing a second signature the attorney-in-fact cannot supply. Section 2103.02 gives the spouse of a married owner a life estate in one third of real property the owner was seized of during the marriage. That life estate belongs to the spouse rather than the Grantor, so no power of attorney the Grantor signed reaches it. Section 12 prints the statutory release sentence with a signature block and certificate for the spouse, signing in person; where the Grantor is unmarried, those entries stay blank.
One record owner, one signer who is not that owner
The form tops out at two signers, the agent and a releasing spouse, each with its own certificate, so the two may appear on different days before different officers. Ohio law does not require separate certificates; the per-signer layout is this form's own accommodation. A parcel sold while its owner lives abroad, a sale handled by an agent for an owner who has lost capacity under a durable power of attorney, and a conveyance clearing a fractional interest standing in an absent owner's name present the agency record this deed recites. Two record owners would take two signature blocks, and an entity or a court-appointed fiduciary conveys on authority outside Chapter 1337. Searches for a quit claim deed, the hyphenated quit-claim spelling, or a power of attorney deed reach this instrument.
What a quit-claim moves out of an absent owner's name
The covenant question is settled by the conveyance statute, not by the agency. Section 5302.11 withholds every covenant on the grantor's part while giving the form fee simple effect, and Section 5302.03 adds that granting words imply none, so a grantee takes the Grantor's position in the record as the record leaves it, mortgage and easement included. The county auditor endorses the transfer under Sections 319.202 and 317.22, reading the Section 319.20 entries, before the recorder sees it. Three files come with the purchase: this Ohio quitclaim deed for an individual grantor signing by attorney-in-fact as a fillable PDF, a completed example built on a Warren County sale closed by an agent, and a plain language guide to the numbered entries, the Chapter 1337 rules, and the county steps. It describes Ohio law and this form generally and is not legal advice.

I recommend you add a box "Add another document or package." The way it is now confused me, so I uploaded the same document two more times, thinking the upload failed the first two times.
Thank you for your feedback Stephen.

Highly Pleased- Strongly Recommend Deeds.com Long review... sorry:-) Originally I was very skeptical due to the enormous amount of the scams going on now days and the number of online sources that "claim" to provide you with deed forms for free or for a few. Nothing that you need and want done is free. There is always a cost. So luckily I came across deeds.com. This was the only site that appeared to be simple, to the point, and made no crazy promises. So before selecting this site, I did a little more checking around/price checking to ensure I am getting the best price for the product I needed. I even checked Staples and Amazon to find that they do indeed sell these forms but I do not think the products they provide are specific for my state and county. They claim their forms provided are for all states but my state is specific and I prefer to have forms provided by Deeds.com that is based on Indiana statute that Deed.com clearly identifies on each form. Deeds.com price of $20 seemed a little high at first but when I saw the products provided, the $20 cost is more than reasonable and fair. You not only get the deed form specific for my state and my specific "county" but also the other various/supplemental forms that may be required. Being familiar with my state and knowing how tedious and anal my state is on everything, I was pleasantly please to see the info and extra supplemental forms provided. For example, a person new to the State who recently had property deeded to them, would not necessarily know about the Homestead tax exemption provided if property is your primary residents, over 65 exemption etc. I would highly recommend this site for anyone needing these documents because Deeds.com has you covered on any and all forms/info you could ever need! A bonus is that there is one flat fee and not monthly cost that you have to worry about canceling later unless you superficially select a monthly package. I love the fact that Deeds.com is nothing fancy. There is not a bunch of elaborate graphics etc. They only provide what you need and what they provide is very accurate. Deeds.com has a customer for life.
Thank you so much Alexis. We appreciate you, have a fantastic day.
