Need help with probate in Ohio?
I spoke to someone on the phone about how to go about requesting a court date for my recently deceased mother whom left no will...I was told to COME IN to fill out "forms" and bring 3 documents. I mailed all my documents to my father in law and requested that he go and fill out the forms in my place as I live in Cleveland. After all of this, when he arrived at the office he was turned away and told that the forms were to be filled out online. He wasted his time taking a day off work and traveling downtown. The lady I spoke to the first time had also stopped mid-conversation to laugh with another person. Extremely rude, considering I had just told her my mother died...it was a simple question and all she had to tell me was to look online and save everyone's time. Intelligent people at work here ...
Came in contact with condescending people in positions of power who don't have a clue. A complete waste of time and tax payers money. Enjoy!
Whatever happened to pro se and the constitutional ability for everyone to access the courts equally? The probate clerk tells me the court only accepts deed searches done by an attorney. So they force you to pay for an attorney to access their court.
Got here at 8:30... Didn't leave until 12:30+... Everybody here moves slower than a turtle...
