Are you the executor of a will of someone recently deceased? Or will you be appointed as administrator? If so, we understand that you might be apprehensive about probate court and your legal responsibilities.
That’s why clients come to us. Ohio probate and estate settlement can be complicated. We will help you navigate this process of estate administration and distribution after death based on state and federal law.
We understand that if a family member has died, you want their wishes carried out the way they intended. You also want that person’s assets legally passed to his or her heirs.
The process in the State of Ohio starts with filing an application with the Probate Division of the Court of Common Pleas in the county where the decedent lived. Then we account for the property and make sure debts and taxes are paid. Most importantly, the remaining property is distributed according to the deceased’s wishes.
