Re: will
Ohio does not require a "reading" of the will. The will is filed with the Probate Court and the person named in the will to be the executor is appointed by the court. That person's duty is to gather the assets, pay the bills, and distribute the assets to the people named in the will. You have a right to a copy of the will and other papers that will be filed including a list of all assets.
If you have any trouble getting the documents, feel free to contact me directly and I will provide you with more information. NO charge or obligation for the telephone call.
Good Luck

Re: will
The waiver, if signed, means you are giving up the right to formal notice from the Probate Court that your father's will has been admitted to probate. The will is public record,and you can obtain a copy from the court. Ordinarily a copy of the will is sent with the waiver.
