Application For Certificate Of Transfer {12.0}

FORM 12.0 - APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER [R.C. 2113.61]. This form is used in the Probate Court of Stark County, Ohio, to request a legal document that facilitates the transfer of real property from a decedent's estate to the appropriate beneficiaries or heirs. This form is typically filed when the decedent’s property needs to be transferred but no formal administration of the estate is necessary or has been completed. The applicant (usually the executor, administrator, or a person acting on behalf of the decedent's estate) provides key information about the decedent’s death, property, and debts. It also specifies the applicable circumstances surrounding the transfer, such as whether the decedent died with or without a will, whether the estate is insolvent, or if there was a written contract for the sale of the property before the decedent's death. In cases where the decedent’s surviving spouse is entitled to a share of the property, the form allows them to elect to take a portion of the property in lieu of other inheritance rights. The application also accounts for charges such as surviving spouse claims or liens. Once the court reviews and approves the application, it issues a Certificate of Transfer, which allows the new owners or beneficiaries to record their ownership with the appropriate authorities, such as a county recorder. www.FormsWorkflow.com
