Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
No Will
My father passed with no will. I paid funeral expenses although he was remarried. Stepmother sent no notification of probate and it has been settled. She got bank accounts in just his name and I have funeral expenses not turned into estate. What can I do?

Re: No Will
You need to send her proof of the funeral expenses that you paid, as well as sending a copy to the probate court. You must do this within a year of date of death. If she does not respond, you have to file suit against her in probate court.
