Anybody with a legal interest in the estate who does not receive their rightful share under the will can contest the will in probate court. Rightful share in Ohio means the amount that person would have had under Ohio’s rules of intestate succession. A lawyer can guide you through this very complex area of law.
Any business or person who has an uncollected debt against the decedent can bring an action in probate court for that money. Often, all of these debts are settled at one hearing.
