Are these forms guaranteed to be recordable in Ottawa County?

Yes. Our form blanks are guaranteed to meet or exceed the applicable formatting requirements used for recording in Ottawa County, including margin requirements, font requirements, and other layout standards.

What do I need to use these forms?

Questions answered? Let's get started!

Use this form to create a survivorship joint tenancy in Ohio real property. The Ohio Revised Code Section 5302.17 states that a "deed conveying any interest in real property to two or more persons . . . creates a survivorship tenancy in the grantees, and upon the death of any of the grantees, vests the interest of the decedent in the survivor, survivors, or the survivor's or survivors' separate heirs and assigns."

Once executed and recorded, this deed immediately conveys ownership from the grantor to the grantees. To retain a shared ownership interest in the property, the grantor simply conveys the property to herself and the other intended co-tenants.

(Ohio Survivorship Deed Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

Good template that met my needs. Much better than another draft template that I found on another site. Would have been helpful if the template had been provided in a Word format instead of PDF so that I could remove the sections that are not applicable.
