Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
How to remove a primary trustee.
I have recently found my biological father after 26 years. We knew each other for about a year before he passed away. He never got around to changing his will and left his caretaker as primary to his estate. Before his passing he told me he wanted to leave everything to me, however he passed before doing so. Everything was verbal and nothing was written down. I legally changed my name to acquire his. My fear is that his caretaker is excluding me from everything and attempting to take all assets possible. Is there a way that I could challenge his caretaker as his primary estate trustee?

More information is needed to properly answer your question however, if you were not disinherited in the will or not even mentioned in it as one of his children, you may have an action to contest the will. The will and trust (if any) should be evaluated by a probate attorney to adequately see what your options are. If the executor is not fulfilling his/her duties, he may be removed. But as stated earlier, more information and facts are needed to answer your questions. You can contact my office at your convenience. Christine Socrates
