Probate

Probate is the legal process by which a person's debts are paid and assets are distributed upon his or her death. Ohio laws direct the probate court how to distribute the deceased's estate.  Local procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this area of the law to ensure that the deceased's assets are distributed correctly.  An experienced attorney can also help you through this difficult time by assisting executors and trustees with carrying out their fiduciary duties and related responsibilities to the Probate Court and the beneficiaries they represent.  It is important to consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in probate and estate tax issues.
