Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Re: What shall be done if I live in another State than Ohio?

You need to contact the probate court in the county where your grandparent resided, and see if a case has been filed. If so, then contact a local attorney who can investigate the situation for you. Be advised that you are only entitled to an inheritance if there is no will.

Re: What shall be done if I live in another State than Ohio?

Thank you for your question regarding your grandparent's estate. You asked for advice as to how you can protect your right to your share of the estate. Since the estate is in Ohio, I cannot give you advice on Ohio law, although I can give you some general recommendations. You should contact an Ohio attorney to find out how to protect your rights under their law.

Find out if a probate case has been filed in Ohio and who is the executor of the estate. If a probate has been opened, contact the attorney for the executor of the estate to find out if there is any Minnesota property. If the estate has any Minnesota property, a probate case might have to be opened here.

I hope I've given you enough information to get started. If you have any more questions, feel free to give me a call
