Syllabus

Judgment of the trial court is reversed. Spouse's dower rights were not subordinated in accordance with R.C. 5302.22(D) as the transfer on death designation affidavit did not include a signature and statement from the property owner's spouse. Spouse's dower rights were also similarly not transferred or extinguished because the couple did not obtain a judgment of legal separation.
