Probate is required when a person dies owning assets titled only in their name. The administration of the person's estate is overseen by the probate court. If there is a will, the personal representative is usually the person named as Executor in the will. If there is no will, an Administrator, oftentimes a relative, can be appointed.
The probate process typically consists of admitting the deceased's will to the probate court; notifying all interested parties; collecting, protecting and making inventory of the deceased's assets; payment of valid debts; filing of taxes as necessary; accounting of all receipts and disbursements; and distributing remaining assets based on the will or on Ohio's statues of decent and distribution.
