Ohio Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy
About this form
The Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Two Individuals in Joint Tenancy is a legal document used to transfer property ownership from one individual (the Grantor) to two individuals (the Grantees) who will hold the property in a joint tenancy arrangement. This type of deed is particularly useful when the Grantor wants to convey their property without making any guarantees regarding its title, thus simplifying the transfer process. It allows the Grantees to benefit from the right of survivorship, ensuring that, upon the death of either Grantee, the surviving Grantee automatically receives full ownership of the property.
