You did not give the exact granting clause. But I assume both of you are Tenants In Common of One/Half Undivided Interests each. Have a lawyer, even in OH look at the Deed and tell you what it says. If T in C then the 1/2 Interests go to the respective Decedents' Heirs or Devisees. Other... Read more »

With 400 dollars down on the new contract but there’s no box that says sellers right to cancel
