Your Ohio Wills, Trusts, & Estates Explained Simply
Linda C. Ashar · 2011
58/100
👎 Skip It
A licensed Ohio attorney wrote this in plain language that genuinely helps non-lawyers understand wills, trusts, and probate — and for 2011, it was solid. But estate law is one of those fields where outdated details aren't just unhelpful, they can be actively misleading, and reviewers flagged specific errors on the Ohio estate tax law and Roth IRAs. At fifteen years old, this works better as an orientation than a planning guide.
