What If My Loved One Died Without a Will?

When an individual passes away without a will or any other legal provisions for their assets, the court will utilize state law to distribute the estate to the beneficiaries. Typically, a close relative, known as the next of kin, will step forward to become the representative of the estate. Dealing with intestate succession — the legal term for managing the affairs of someone who passed away without a will — is more intricate than straightforward probate, thus it's beneficial for the representative to seek legal guidance. If a loved one has died intestate, James A. Singler at Singler Law LLC in Cincinnati, Ohio, can guide you through the probate process with sensitivity and understanding. To learn about how James A. Singler can assist you and your family during this challenging time, schedule an appointment today.
