Ohio § 5309.27

§ 5309.27.

If two or more persons are registered owners as tenants in common, or otherwise, of

undivided interests in land, one owner's duplicate certificate of title may be issued

for the whole land, or the owner of a separate or undivided interest may, upon the

return and cancellation or proper notation upon the outstanding certificate, have

a separate registration of his interest and a duplicate certificate of title issued

to him. A registered owner who holds one duplicate certificate for several distinct parcels

of land may surrender such certificate and have separate registration and duplicate

certificates for portions thereof, or if he holds separate duplicate certificates

for several distinct parcels he may surrender them and have registration made of and

take out a single duplicate certificate for the whole land, or several registration

and duplicate certificates for different portions thereof.  If a new or different plat and description is to be given in any new certificate

so issued, such plat and description must be definite and certain and in conformity

with the previously registered plat and descriptions and must be subject to the approval

of the county recorder, who may in any case require the same to be approved by the

court. An owner who subdivides a tract of registered land into lots shall file with the clerk

of the probate court or the clerk of the court of common pleas a plan thereof, when

applying for a new certificate, and the probate court or the court of common pleas,

before ordering such certificate to be issued, shall cause the plan to be certified

and filed with the recorder and recorded, and require that all boundaries, streets,

and passageways shall be distinctly and accurately delineated thereon.
