family transfer of a house

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?Ohio. Hello all. I don't know if I'm doing this right, but here goes...My husband and I moved in with my parents over 2 years ago when my Mother discovered she had cancer and my Dad couldn't take care of her (both in upper 80's). She passed away and my Dad needed us then to help him. Now he is wanting to give us this house as a gift while he's still here with us. I was told by a friend that this is allowed and all can be done over the internet, but I'm trying to find out some of the laws. Can he just "give" us the house? Any help would be appreciated.

**A: no, it can't all be done over the internet. There is no way for a notary public to attest and the deed to be recoded over the internet.
