Ohio Probate Attorneys
In addition to providing comprehensive estate planning services, our attorneys offer probate administration services. When a person dies in the state of Ohio, their estate must be distributed in a manner that is consistent with Ohio probate law. There are eighty eight counties in Ohio, and while Ohio has a modern uniform set of probate rules, each county has its own unique procedures that are also used and followed.
The process of paying last illness expenses, covering debts and obligations of the decedent, paying income and estate taxes, and distributing assets in accordance with state law is called probate administration. Important parts of the probate process include:
- Admission of the Will and appointment of a fiduciary
- Notification of next of kin and beneficiaries
- Notification of creditors
- Inventory of assets
- Preparing estate tax forms
- Distributing assets
We provide comprehensive probate services to people throughout Columbus and Central Ohio. We have also provided probate services to people in other areas of Ohio, outside of Central Ohio. To speak with a probate attorney at our firm, contact our law office in Westerville, Ohio. To contact our firm, call 614-895-5600.
