Q. Request Order to Ohio Vital Statistics to obtain Original Birth Certifcate.

September 18, 2023

A: Given these facts, I think any probate attorney may need to do some research to be truly confident as to the process needed to achieve the desired outcome. If changing the words on the certificate is truly the only desired outcome, then I'd start with the health department that issued the certificate.

Q. How can i read someones will? My godfather always said that i was on his will but after he died his daughter say I’m not

September 7, 2023

A: Most jurisdictions don't allow godchildren standing to force the disclosure of the will. However, some jurisdictions (like Ohio) do penalize somebody who conceals a will. You probably need to speak to an attorney in PR.

Q. Executor/successor trustee is maintaining accounts for own personal use, 18 months after closure of estate and more

August 30, 2023

A: What is the issue here? Are you concerned that the trustee didn't distribute all the money? If so, this would be alarming. But, if you're concerned that the trustee has kept a checking account open after all money has been distributed, and is using the account for personal reasons, then this is less alarming.
