I would not recommend giving anything away at this time. If there is a will then the executor appointed needs to step in and begin the process. If not will then an administrator needs to be appointed. All assets need to be inventoried in order to avoid any personal liability or potential conflicts with beneficiaries and/or family members. If you need assistance with this matter, I would be happy to assist you. I practice in the probate courts of several counties in Ohio.
