If you need help with the probate of an Ohio will, or if you have been named as a successor trustee under a living trust, we offer a free consultation, in person or by telephone, with one of our qualified estate administration attorneys. We can advise you regarding your postmortem trust administration duties. We can review trust instruments to make sure all assets are properly transferred and titled, ensure accurate accountings are rendered, and prepare estate and fiduciary tax returns. Our caring, professional approach allows our lawyers to assist you every step of the way and provide the ideal level of service.
We can typically help out-of-state personal representatives and trustees fulfill their responsibilities without the need to travel to Ohio. We will keep you advised of probate proceedings and ensure a smooth transfer of property.
