Ohio Code § 5309.79

§ 5309.79.

Every voluntary instrument intended to be used in transferring any title or estate

in registered land, or in creating any lien or charge thereon, or assigning, releasing,

or discharging any lien or charge, in whole or in part, and every certificate or other

paper filed with the county recorder for the purpose of acquiring or creating an involuntary

lien, interest, or charge upon registered land, shall at least refer by number to

the certificate of title covering such land or containing a memorial of such interest,

lien, or charge.  Such reference shall be contained in the body of all voluntary instruments, and

in the case of such certificate or papers so filed to acquire involuntary interests,

liens, or charges, such reference shall be either in the body of such certificate

or papers or indorsed thereon and the indorsement shall be signed by the proper officer

or a person in interest.  Each of such instruments referred to in the preceding sentence shall also have the

words “REGISTERED LAND” conspicuously typed or printed in capital letters on the reverse

side of the last page of the instrument, which page is also known as the caption page

or the backing of the instrument.  If only a part of the land covered by such certificate of title is sought to be

affected, and 1 accurate description of such part enabling it to be definitely located and platted

shall be given in such voluntary instrument, or in or upon such certificate or paper

so filed, in addition to such reference to the certificate of title by number. 1
