Q: TN resident questions regarding OH Probate
TN resident with all next of kin (NOK) in OH. One OH NOK passed away with a will completed/signed but unable to be witnessed. All surviving NOK were aware of this will and want to abide by their NOK wishes. TN NOK was sole beneficiary. Will OH probate accept this will as valid if all surviving NOK agree to the terms of the will? Also, can TN NOK probate this will if OH NOKs do not want to be the executor? If no, is an attorney needed by OH law for this probate? Thank you.
A: The will is invalid under OH law. Luckily, it seems like the family are all on the same page so the issue 'can' be resolved. I recommend finding a local attorney to help. You may need some waivers/disclaimers/deeds signed by the family. Use the Find A Lawyer tab above.
