  • Filing the initial probate court papers to open an estate.

Helping You Understand the Latest Changes in Estate Tax Law

Effective January 1, 2013, Ohio no longer has any Ohio estate tax on the property owned by a person who died a resident of Ohio on and after January 1, 2013. This is true regardless of the value of the assets and whether the person has a surviving spouse. However, there still is a federal estate tax, but the federal estate tax exclusion amount is $5,000,000, which  has been and will continued to adjusted (upward).

At our law firm, we keep up-to-date on the latest changes in state and federal estate tax laws. Our attorney, Nancy Sponseller, will use her knowledge of the law to help you understand how the law affects your loved one’s estate. Rated as one of the Top 25 female Super Lawyers, she will be the best resource for your estate administration concerns.
