Personal representatives (i.e., executors and administrators of the estate) are required to provide beneficiaries and other interested parties (i.e., persons or entities with a financial stake in the estate) with financial information about the estate they are overseeing.

To ensure the process is done correctly and in ance with Ohio's probate statutes, we strongly recommend hiring a probate attorney.

Factors such as the size of the estate, outstanding debts or will disputes can significantly extend this period. For smaller estates, Ohio offers simplified probate options, which can expedite the process.

To the executor or administrator in writing, and to the probate court by filing with it a copy of the written claim that has been filed with the fiduciary, or.
