A beneficiary of an interest in property in Ohio can disclaim all or part of a bequeathed interest in, or power over, that property under Ohio Revised Code 5815.36, as long as it has not been accepted through actions that indicate ownership or through a written waiver of the right to disclaim (Sec. J).
The written disclaimer must identify the donative instrument, which is the document that established the interest, such as a will or a transfer on death designation affidavit. The disclaimer also must contain a description of the disclaimed interest and a declaration of the disclaimer and its extent (Sec. B (3)). It must be signed by the disclaimant or a legally authorized representative
Depending on the donative instrument, the disclaimer must be filed, recorded and/or delivered pursuant to 5815.36 Sec. F as follows.
* If the interest is created by a non-testamentary instrument, including a transfer on death designation affidavit, the disclaimer must be delivered to the trustee or other person who holds legal title or possession of the property.
* In the case of an interest in real estate a transfer on death designation affidavit, the disclaimer must be filed with the recorder of the county in which the real property is located.
* If the interest is created by a testamentary instrument or by intestate succession, file the document in the probate division of the court of common pleas in the county in which proceedings for the administration of the decedent's estate have been commenced. In addition, deliver in person or send by certified mail an executed copy of the disclaimer instrument to the personal representative of the decedent's estate.
* If the interest is in real estate, execute a copy of the disclaimer and submit in the office of the recorder of the county in which the property is situated.
The Ohio statute is consistent with the Internal Revenue Code Section 2518, which requires that the disclaimer must be received no later than 9 months after the transfer is made (e.g. date of death). In order to be effective, the disclaimer must be irrevocable and binding to the disclaimant and all who claim under him or her (Sec. E). Be sure to consult an attorney when in doubt about the drawbacks and benefits of disclaiming inherited property.

I used the quitclaim deed form, it was easy to fill out, had notarized and was accepted by the county's recorders office. Having a example form made it so much easier to fill out.
Thank you for your positive words! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience.

I found the form easy to file out. But everything else was confusing with very little direction and help.
Thank you!

The form was very easy to use and the sample tool you had was very helpful. the only problem i had was saving the document and then trying to find it later. I finally was able to figure out how to save it. but i still cannot find the saved document on my computer. Luckily i printed it before i closed it and did not need to make any changes.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Customer service was poor. I felt like I had to debate the representative to provide guidance and assistance. They acted as though I knew the process, the documents involved, etc. At the same time, they asked me to confirm which documents or at least pages needed to be filed. I was leaning of Deeds.com for their expertise.
Thank you!

This site was recommended by my County's Clerks office website. Let me tell you when I received my specific State and County's Quit Claim Deed forms from Deeds.com, every conceivable form that could be needed in addition to the full instructions, and a sample filled out form, I was impressed (five stars) and made things so easy for me to feel confident in my legal activity on a land transaction.
Thank you for your positive words! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience.

After a little glitch due to heavy volume at the County Recorder, my document was recorded. County Recorder was closed to public access at the office (due to the coronavirus issues) so all documents were either mailed to them or sent in electronically.
Deeds.com was very efficient at their end with very quick responses to my questions and concerns. I would definitely use their services again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com served my needs perfectly providing a form for a very reasonable price. Every other site was double or more. The form was easy to complete and I like that I can access it if I need to make changes. I had contacted a paralegal to prepare this form for me and she quoted $150. I saved time and money with Deeds.com.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The forms are extremely helpful. They could use some updating. Promissory note "...in the form of cash, check or money order." is a bit outdated. My note is with my son and we have an automatic bank transfer set up for payments. He could Venmo me. There are many other options and likely to be more changes in the future, so I know this is difficult to maintain.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
