Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

The answer to your question depends on a couple of factors. First it depends on how your husband's father owned his property. Any property that is joint with his current wife or that is payable on death or payable by a beneficiary designation to his current wife would be paid to his wife.

If your husband's father owned any property in just his name alone or if he had a trust set up then your husband may have some rignts to property. Then it would depend on the terms of any will or trust agreement.

If your husband's father owned property in just his name and he did not have a will, your husband woudl be entitled to a share of the estate.

I would suggest that you consult with an attorney that can help make sure all of his rights are protected.
