This presentation by the Summit County Probate Court offers information about wills and estate administration, the importance of advance directives, and how to protect your property and assets.

Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.659.4343.

Most people have heard it’s wise to avoid probate — but many don’t know why. In this presentation, Chief Magistrate Elliott shares simple, free tools to help protect your family and heirs.

You don’t have to be a millionaire to plan effectively. You’ve worked hard and deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing your wishes will be followed. This program does not offer legal advice; rather, it provides helpful insight from the experts at the Summit County Probate Court.

Learn about the probate process, including wills and estate administration, and the importance of powers of attorney, transfer on death designations, beneficiaries, and payable-on-death accounts. The court will show you how to make plans that best serve you and your family.

What is guardianship, and when is it necessary? The Probate Court serves as the superior guardian for more than 2,500 individuals in Summit County. This program will clearly explain the process and importance of guardianship.

The court will also share information about marriage licenses, name changes, and adoptions.
