Wills and Estates
Will Ohio recognize a copy of my father's will from Minnesota?
My father recently passed, he lived in Girard, Ohio. I have a copy of his Last Will and Testament which he prepared in1998 in the state of Minnesota. I am named as sole heir. Although he lived in Ohio, he also had property in Minnesota and his car was registered there. We can not find the original copy of the will but have the attorney and witness names on the copy. My question is: Will the state of OHIO recognize a copy as is or do I need to get some type of certificate from the attorney in Minnesota to verify that he did prepare the will. Also since he lived most of the year in Ohio (9 or more months) a year does that qualify him as a resident even though he may be a registered voter in Minnesota.. Thank you with this matter, we live in Georgia and have appointed an attorney in Ohio but he sems to be very vague with these questions.
