A: If a person who is no longer married dies, then that person's natural or adopted children would inherit the person's property in equal shares. If any of those children are no longer living, the children of that deceased child would inherit their deceased parent's share. See Subsection (A) of http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2105.06 Use the Find a Lawyer tab to consult a local estate planning attorney who can review all the specifics of the situation and advise you.
