FAQ
According to Ohio's intestate laws, property is distributed as follows: If there is a surviving spouse, the entire estate will go to him or her. If there is no spouse, but there are children, the estate will be divided equally among them. If there is no spouse and no children, the deceased's parents will inherit.
Where there is no surviving spouse, the next level is children of the deceased. If any of the children are deceased, their children take their place. If there are no kin in the first two levels, then the deceased's parents inherit. If there are no living parents, then siblings of either full or half-blood inherit.
Generally, the next of kin under Ohio law are: Surviving spouse. Descendants. Parents.
Inheritance Order: who the heirs are according to the court ruling and what is their portion of the estate.
Generally speaking, the surviving spouse is first in line to inherit, with children and grandchildren next in line. If the surviving spouse has any minor children, they may inherit the whole estate. Adult children may receive a share of inheritance.
In the absence of a surviving spouse, the person who is next of kin inherits the estate. The line of inheritance begins with direct offspring, starting with their children, then their grandchildren, followed by any great-grandchildren, and so on.
Generally, the next of kin under Ohio law are: Surviving spouse. Descendants. Parents.
Grandchildren hold a prime position in Ohio's inheritance laws. However, they become valid heirs if, and only if, their parent (the decedent's child) has already died. In nearly every case, stepchildren in Ohio are not entitled to any part of their stepparent's intestate estate.
The term usually means your nearest blood relative. In the case of a married couple or a civil partnership it usually means their husband or wife. Next of kin is a title that can be given, by you, to anyone from your partner to blood relatives and even friends.
