Ohio Code § 5309.78

§ 5309.78.

The holder of a duplicate certificate of title may at any time present such duplicate

certificate to the county recorder and request him to continue such duplicate certificate

to date and enter thereon all memorials and notations on the registered certificate

of title, not appearing on such duplicate certificate, and also enter references to

all instruments filed and noted, but not yet entered as memorials on the registered

certificate of title.  Thereupon the recorder shall make and certify such entries giving the minute, hour,

day, and year of such certification.  At the time of making application for such continuation and certification of a duplicate

certificate of title, the registered owner may file with the recorder an affidavit

that said application is made in good faith for the purpose of closing up a bona fide

transfer or encumbrance of the land or some part thereof described in such duplicate

certificate, naming the proposed transferee or encumbrancer, and thereupon the recorder

shall note upon the registered certificate and also upon the duplicate certificate

of title a stay of registration for the period of twenty-four hours of all instruments

and papers affecting said land other than those relating to, or connected with such

proposed transfer or encumbrance.  All such other instruments and papers so filed within said twenty-four hours shall

be registered after and subordinate to such instruments relating to, or connected

with such proposed transfer or encumbrance provided the latter are filed within said

twenty-four hours.
