Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
deeds
When a spouse dies is it necessary to have your deed changed? For instance, if there is no joint survivorship on the deed is it imperative to have it placed in your name only? If this is necessary can it be done without going through a lawyer?

In order to eventually transfer the property, you will have to transfer the property into your name.
Good Luck

In response to your question, it is not necessary to have the deed placed in your name only. What is required is that an Affidavit of Descent be filed in the records of the County Clerks Office to show who inherited the deceased spouses share of the property, whether you or whoever. Normally, this is done during the probate of the deceased spouses estate.
