Ohio Last Will and Testament Form

An Ohio last will and testament is a legal instrument a person creates to transfer their property after they die. The decedent, known as the testator, makes a will by identifying people or organizations, known as beneficiaries, who are to receive the property. Creating a will helps avoid common disputes about who is entitled to the decedent’s property. Wills can also modify or revoke other wills.

Laws Chapter 2107 (Wills)
