📝FAQ Friday: Is a handwritten will valid in Ohio?

It can be! In Ohio, a will may be handwritten, but to be valid it must be signed by the person making the will and witnessed by two or more competent adults.

However, handwriting a will can cause issues in interpreting your wishes in certain situations, and can add time and expense in transferring your property to your loved ones if certain items (such as naming an executor) aren’t addressed in your will.

If you’re thinking about completing your will, I’d be happy to help you through the process.

📃 FAQ Friday: What happens if I pass away without a will in Ohio?

If you pass away without a will in Ohio, state law determines who will receive your property. This law (called the statute of descent and distribution) allows your assets to be distributed to family members in a certain order. However, in some situations (especially if you want certain people or charities to receive specific items or gifts of money, if you have a blended family, or if you are unmarried), this may not reflect your wishes on who you want to receive your property upon your passing.

A simple will gives you peace of mind that your wishes are clear and your assets will be handled according to your plans after you pass away.

Ambos Law officially opens for business this coming Monday, June 16!

My name is Eric Ambos and I’m excited to launch my solo law practice here in Sidney, serving individuals, families, and businesses across West Central Ohio. My practice focuses on:

💼Business Law
🏠Real Estate Law
📃Estate Planning & Probate
⚖️Civil Litigation and Criminal Defense

A little about me: I grew up in Botkins and spent the first five years of my legal career here in Sidney as both an assistant county prosecutor and private attorney. After a few years working as an in-house lawyer in Columbus, I decided to come home and open a practice where I could help people in our community navigate life’s legal challenges with confidence and clarity.

I am now accepting new clients — call, e-mail, or visit my website to schedule a consultation:
