What's the difference between warranty and quit claim deeds?

Warranty deeds provide guarantees about clear title, while quit claim deeds transfer only the interest the grantor has, with no warranties about title quality.

Do I need witnesses for real estate deeds?

Ohio doesn't require witnesses for deeds, but notarization is mandatory for recording at the county recorder's office.

Can you help with property transfers between family members?

Yes, we regularly handle family property transfers including gifts, inheritance distributions, and transfers to trusts.

Can I sign a deed without my spouse present?

In Ohio, your spouse typically must sign or release dower rights for property transfers. We can coordinate separate signings if needed, or help you understand when spousal signature is required.

How do I add someone to my property deed?

You'll need a new deed (usually quit claim) that includes both current and new owners. We can notarize the deed, but recommend consulting an attorney about title and tax implications.

What documents do I need to sell my house?

Sellers typically sign the deed, settlement statement, affidavits of title, and property disclosures. Your title company or attorney will prepare these documents for notarization.

Can you notarize documents at the title company?

Yes, we provide mobile service to title companies, attorney offices, or any closing location. Many title companies also have their own notaries on staff.

What are your fees?

Ohio law permits a notary to charge up to $5 per notarial act.

What is a transfer-on-death (TOD) designation?

A transfer-on-death (TOD) designation lets an owner name a beneficiary for one specific asset — a house, vehicle, or account — so it passes directly to that person at death without probate. The owner keeps full control and can change the beneficiary anytime while alive. A notary witnesses the signing but cannot advise whether TOD is the right choice — that is a question for an attorney.

A transfer-on-death (TOD) designation lets the current owner name a beneficiary for one specific asset — a house (via a TOD affidavit in Ohio), a vehicle, or a bank or investment account. When the owner dies, that asset passes directly to the named beneficiary without going through probate court. The owner keeps full control while alive and can sell the asset, change the beneficiary, or revoke the designation at any time. A notary verifies identity and witnesses the signing of a TOD form, the same role a notary plays for any notarized document, but cannot advise whether a TOD designation fits a given situation. Call (513) 226-9052 to have a completed TOD form notarized, or talk to an attorney first if you are still deciding whether it is the right tool.
