decedent shall be transferred by presenting to the county auditor and filing with
the county recorder either a certificate of transfer as provided in section 2113.61 of the Revised Code , or an affidavit accompanied by a certified copy of a death certificate and by an
owner's duplicate of the relevant certificate of title. The affidavit shall certify that the owner of a survivorship tenancy interest in

of the surviving tenants, the current residence address of each surviving tenant,

certificate of title where the land is registered. The county recorder shall register the title in the surviving tenants, upon a new
folium in the register of titles; enter all memorials, notations, and memoranda to
which the land is subject at the time of transfer; and issue a new certificate of
title to the surviving tenants setting forth all of the information as to each required
to be shown pursuant to section 5309.40 of the Revised Code .
