Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Transfer of deed

My mother passed away in March. She and my father jointly

owned their home and are both named on the deed. She had a

very simple will leaving everything to my father should she

pass away first. However, It does not have 2 witnesses but

is noterized. What options do we have? What would happen if

we did nothing about it at this time? Any advise would be

help

Re: Transfer of deed

What type of deed is there for the property. If it is Joint and Survivor, then the property passed outside of probate, thus will has no effect on the property. You need to file an affidavit of surviving spouse with a certified copy of the death certificate. If I can be of service, please contact me.
