In OH there is a "shortcut" for small estates. This makes it easier for beneficiaries/heirs to transfer property left by a person who has died. it can be used if the value of the estate is $35,000 or less. The inheritor must complete an affidavit and submit it to the court. Then they must give notice to the surviving spouse, if any, and then to any other benefciairies/heirs. They may also be required to publish notice of the filing of the application in a newspaper if the court requires. You can contact the probate court in the county in which your mother resided at the time f her death for further information.
