FAQ

While laws differ from state to state, Ohio inheritance laws state that a surviving spouse cannot be written out of a will. Ohio rights of a surviving spouse include the right to accept what he/she has been given under the deceased spouse's will. Or, they may elect to take against the will within five months.

When a person in Ohio dies intestate (without a will), if they have title or right to personal property, or to real estate or inheritance, the personal property is distributed, and the real estate or inheritance descends to the appropriate parties.

For a Surviving Spouse, Most of the Estate Will Not Pass Through Probate. As a married couple, most of the property and assets you have are jointly owned. That means that when one of you dies, the other simply becomes the sole owner of the assets. This does not require any legal action or court involvement.

Ing 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 unless there are children who are not the natural children of the surviving spouse, then the estate gets distributed differently.

Under Ohio law, a spouse cannot be disinherited by a will. Through a concept known as elective share, the surviving spouse may elect to receive what is provided for in the deceased spouse's will or receive what is provided by law.

If you die without a valid will and you have no surviving heirs, your property is transferred to the state. Friends and charities are not considered heirs and they will not be eligible to receive your property.

If there are no children of the decedent or the descendants of the children, then the entire estate goes to the surviving spouse. If there isn't a surviving spouse, no children, or descendants of children, then the estate goes to the surviving parents or the surviving parent.
