If the decedent owns property that is physically located in Ohio, ex. real property, that does not have a beneficiary designation or is not owned jointly with right of survivorship, it must pass through probate. If the decedent is a resident of Florida and an estate is opened there, then an anxilliary administration must done in the county where the property is located.
