Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

living will, will

My father died 2 years ago, he had 2 personal belongings that are very important to my brother and I however his new wife has given one item to his sister(our aunt) and the other we are told is in a saftey deposit box. We believe that he did have a living will but are not sure, what can we do? The only thing that was given to us was his clothes and I have his license, my brother was promised his necklace, but never recieved it. Again, what can we do?

Re: living will, will

Your father's will determines what happens with these items. If he had none, it depends on the assets he had at death as to who gets what. It is likely everything belongs to your stepmother, but without knowing the assets involved, it is impossible to say.

A living will deals only with a persons issues when seriously ill.
