My husband died and he was the only person on our deed. I live in Ohio. Do I have to pay taxes on transferring?
Hi lucib,
If your husband has left a will the property will go through probate to change the title in your name. However, if there is no will you need to file an affidavit of heirship with the probate court. You may have to pay certain doc stamp taxes, transfer fees etc which vary from state to state.
