Application To Relieve Estate From Administration {5.0}

FORM 5.0 - APPLICATION TO RELIEVE ESTATE FROM ADMINISTRATION. This form is used in the Probate Court of Stark County, Ohio, when an estate qualifies for a simplified probate process under R.C. 2113.03. This form allows an applicant, typically a surviving spouse, heir, or executor, to request that the estate be relieved from full administration because the total value of the decedent’s assets falls below the statutory limits. The applicant provides information about the decedent, including their date of death and domicile. If the decedent left a will, the form acknowledges whether it has been admitted to probate. The application then determines eligibility based on the estate’s total value, which must fall within specific monetary thresholds depending on the date of death and whether a surviving spouse is entitled to all assets. If the decedent was 55 years or older and received Medicaid benefits, the form requires the filing of SPF 7.0 - Notice to Administrator of Estate Recovery Program to address potential Medicaid estate recovery claims. Additionally, the applicant must attach Form 5.1, which details the estate’s assets and liabilities, and Form 1.0, listing surviving family members and beneficiaries. Heirs, legatees, and other interested parties can waive their right to notice of the application, expediting the process. If waivers are not provided, the court will set a hearing date and determine the appropriate notice requirements, which may include personal notification or publication in accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure. www.FormsWorkflow.com
