Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

1YR ago I was divorced . It was a common law marriage . The property and house was signed over to me with his last name. I need to know if I need to hire a lawyer to get a new deed . Also, in the event that something would happen to me who would get the property? since his last name is still on the old deed would he get it?

If your divorce decree orders that the property be signed over to you, then a new deed should be prepared and recorded. You should contact an attorney for this. Once the property is yours, your heirs or beneficiaries would inherit it. Good luck.
