question re estate

[dltcolumbus]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am recently widowed. Since my husband's estate is not going to be probated and I am the person responsible for the estate (I was named executor in his will) what forms would I need to send to medical institutions in order to request his medical records in the state of Ohio?

You would need to contact the institution to see what they require. Why are you not going to probate. You are not the person responsible for the estate until the probate court says you are.

Thank you so very much for your response.
Well we really have nothing of value and everything was in both our names as one OR the other. There wasn't anything that was willed to anyone so my attorney said we could just do a summary. Perhaps that isn't the right thing to do if I want access to his medical records?

Even with a summary you are appointed as the PR by the court and should get original copies of the appointment that you can use. Ask your attorney.
