Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
I am the executor of my aunt's will, as well as a beneficiary in it, and her niece by her marriage to my uncle. Thus, I am her appointed executor in her will by her, as well as being related to her. Her husband (my uncle) is deceased, no children, no siblings, her parents, her aunts and uncles are deceased. Some of the other beneficiaries in the will are her cousins by blood. Wouldn't her cousins that are listed in the will be her next-of-kin by blood and that I would just need to contact them? Thank you!

You will need to contact all of her neices and nephews not just those named in the will to notify them of the probate of the will.
