- Q. My siblings and I were the recipients of my mothers house many years ago. The transfer says she may live there for the
- A: How did the transfer spell out those terms? Was the house in a Trust? Much depends on the specifics. I recommend sitting down with an estate planning attorney to discuss the situation in detail. Best of luck.
- Q. I want to know can someone be named the next of kin if they have blood relatives that are still alive?
- A: Your question implicates multiple provisions under Ohio's Revised Code. Ohio Section 2108.70-2108.99 will be pertinent to your situation. I have included a link below to the chapter. All in all, you may need to retain an attorney if there is a dispute regarding your aunt's final arrangements. https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/chapter-2108 Best of luck.
- Q. My husband passed away 12/2021. I am named beneficiary in the Will. Do I need to go to probate court?
