Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Yes. But they must be exercised in a timely manner and properly. I would strongly suggest you promptly contact a probate attorney to more fully discuss the specifics, as this forum isn't practical in fully exploring the specifics of your situation.

Depending on certain facts, this will allow you to lay claim to certain amounts from the estate, regardless of what the will states.
