Ohio. Ohio imposes a six-month deadline from the date of death. Probate filings beyond this period may face hurdles, including court dismissal.
Under Ohio law, if you are the beneficiary of a will, and you know of the will's existence and have the power to do so, you are obligated to have it submitted for probate within a year.
However, the court system does not require an attorney in order for a Will to be probated. You especially don't need an attorney if you are the only beneficiary of the estate, the estate's property only contains common assets, and the Will itself is simple and straightforward to follow.
Contact the Probate Court or Clerk of Courts in a specific county of interest for more information. Several repositories across the state collect local government records from nearby county courts. Visit our Ohio Network of American History Research (ONAHR) Centers webpage to view a list of repositories.
