Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
Wills & Estates
A family received farm property from
a deceased brother. The deceased
brother wrote a letter and specifically
identified one of the daughters to
inherit this same property after they
had ''passed away''.
The ''will'' of the current farm land
owners states that when they ''pass
away'' all assets will be shared
equally. Which document will prevail?
Will the named daughter have to
share this property equally with other
siblings?

Re: Wills & Estates
If the "letter" is not executed with the formalities of a Will, required by law, it is not binding.
Your question needs clarification before I can answer it more fully. It would be helpful if I could look at the documents.
