Dayton Probate & Trust Administration Attorneys

Estate Support in Montgomery County & Greene County

Probate generally revolves around the death of an individual. When an individual dies, they leave behind two types of assets: Non-probate assets (i.e. joint and survivorship property or payable or transfer on death accounts) and probate assets (must be transferred through a probate court proceeding). Most individuals die owning both probate and non-probate assets, all of which generally require some type of documentation to complete their transfer. Probate is a very confusing and frustrating area of the law that can have tremendous legal and tax complexities that require the advice and counsel of an attorney. Make sure you get help from an experienced attorney. At Arnold & Arnold, Ltd., we have experienced and qualified probate and trust administration lawyers in Dayton, OH who have been helping individuals like you for years.

The probate court handles far more than just the estates of the deceased; they also oversee guardianships, name changes, adoptions, and marriage licenses.

Guardianship is a very complex area of the law and requires very specific legal knowledge. In Ohio, a guardianship is a legal relationship ordered by the court in which the guardian acts on behalf of the ward and the ward’s best interests. Wards are persons who are not able to care for themselves or their property. Guardians can be a person, association, or corporation, and need to be residents of Ohio. Typically, a guardian is responsible for the ward’s person, estate, or both.
