Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
ohio divorce law
My deceased husband was awarded certificates of deposit, ''without interterence'', at his divorce. He had no will and failed to change the beneficiary (his ex wife) on the documents. Do I have a claim to them since it was an oversight?

Re: ohio divorce law
Ohio law in effect since 1990 presumes an ex spouse is not to benefit after divorce. If the account was opened after 1990, it is presumed your husband forgot to change the beneficiary it should go to you. See your attorney if there is a problem.
