Guiding You Through the Ohio Probate Process

Probate is the court proceeding that proves the validity of a will and administers the estate of a decedent. During this process, a decedent’s assets are collected and some may be liquidated, taxes and debts are paid, and property is distributed to rightful heirs.

The many details that must be attended to can often prove too much for a family in the wake of a loved one’s death.
