Estate planning helps ensure your wishes are followed if you become incapacitated or pass away. A proper estate plan can protect your assets, name guardians for minor children, reduce family conflict, and avoid unnecessary court involvement. In Ohio, having a valid will or trust allows you—not the state—to decide what happens to your property and loved ones.
A comprehensive Ohio estate plan may include a last will and testament, durable power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney, living will, and in some cases, a trust. The right documents depend on your family situation, assets, and long-term goals.
Yes. Even if you don’t own significant assets, a will is critical for naming guardians for minor children and making your wishes clear. Without a will, Ohio intestacy laws determine how your property is distributed—and who may care for your children—which may not align with your preferences.
If a person dies without a will, their estate is distributed according to Ohio’s intestacy laws. This can result in delays, additional costs, and outcomes that don’t reflect the person’s wishes. Estate planning helps avoid uncertainty and gives your family clear direction during a difficult time.
A will outlines how your assets are distributed after death and typically goes through probate. A trust can hold assets during your lifetime and distribute them without probate, offering more privacy and efficiency. An estate planning attorney can help determine whether a will, a trust, or a combination of both is best for your situation.
Yes. Estate plans should be reviewed and updated after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, relocation, or changes in finances. Ohio law allows you to amend or replace your estate planning documents as long as you have legal capacity.
