Probate in Ohio
Ohio sets the executor commission by statute: 4%, 3% and 2% in tiers, plus 1% on unsold real estate, with attorney and court fees on top. Smaller estates can use Release from Administration, which requires a court order. Creditors have six months. Ohio probate runs through county probate courts, and delays usually come from claims, disputes and incomplete paperwork.
Personal Injury in Ohio
Ohio gives two years for most injury claims, but just one year for assault and medical malpractice. Recovery is barred only above 50% fault, and your fault is compared with everyone involved, including parties you did not sue. Noneconomic damages are capped by a formula, unless a catastrophic injury lifts the cap. Attorney fees face no statutory cap, only the reasonableness limit in Prof.Cond.R. 1.5.
Family Law in Ohio
Ohio calculates child support with the JFS worksheet, the basic schedule, a self-sufficiency reserve and a reduction for extended overnights. There is no spousal support formula; the court weighs fourteen statutory factors. Marital property division starts from an equal split, with separate property left out. A divorce or dissolution can be filed after six months of residence, and a dissolution has an appearance window of 30 to 90 days.
