The probate court will have to administer the deceased party's estate if they had no estate plan or if their trust is not funded. Probates in Ohio's probate court can be long, complex, and expensive. We have represented over 1,000 estates, and our firm can help you navigate the probate process with as much ease as possible.
Probate is not necessary for assets left in a trust when the grantor dies. Once the grantor dies, probate is avoided, as well as the associated expenses. To leave assets to a child, a trust can name them as the beneficiaries, which may protect children from litigation due to their parents' death. Similarly, a trust may protect assets from creditors or the general public when the grantor dies.
Specific duties that the trustee must carry out are outlined in the Ohio Trust Code. Our firm can help our clients navigate these requirements by utilizing attorneys with specialized expertise in trust administration.
