Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
I signed a Waiver of Notice to Probate when my father passed in August 2008. I was provided a copy of the Will by the Estates Atty. My step-mother was named Executrix. In Jan 2010, she reopened the estate. Should I rescind my waiver to understand what is happening with the estate...or is it irrelevant?

A waiver of notice of probate is just your acknowledgment that probate has started. It does not waive any rights you might.
She probably reopened the estate because a new asset was discovered. You can either check with the estates attorney or the probate court to get information on why the estate was opened.
As an heir you have the right to see the accounts filed by the estate and can object if you do not agree. You will need to make sure that you act within the deadlines established under the law for probate matters.
