Q. All liens and creditors are paid off.Can the estate be turned over to me immediately and the funds in my name?

March 27, 2024

A: The probate courts in different counties of Ohio have different rules for when property can be distributed. In most counties I've worked in, real property cannot be transferred until the Inventory in the estate has been filed and/or approved. Some counties can transfer personal property before the Inventory, provided that property is listed on the Inventory.

Q. My mom passed away recently. I was on her bank account as POD and listed as TOD on her home, which is now in my name.

March 7, 2024

A: You only list those assets that are probate assets. Anything passed by a TOD or POD or a joint owner is not a probate asset.

Q. I have a 98 year old father. He has a will. Is there a way to avoid probate on is condo or does his will do that?

February 9, 2024

A: A will does not avoid probate. You can consult an attorney to prepare a Transfer on Death Affidavit to record with the Recorder's office. That will transfer outside of probate. Alternately, you can create a trust and transfer the condo to the trustee.
