Inventory and Appraisal {6.0}

FORM 6.0 – INVENTORY AND APPRAISAL. This form from the Stark County, Ohio Probate Court is used by the fiduciary (executor or administrator) to provide a complete and accurate list of all known assets belonging to the decedent’s estate. This form is required under Ohio Revised Code sections 2115.02 and 2115.09 and serves as a foundational step in the probate process. The fiduciary reports the value of assets that can be easily determined, while an appointed appraiser values those assets that are not readily ascertainable. The form categorizes the assets into tangible personal property (such as household items or vehicles), intangible personal property (like bank accounts and investments), and real property (such as land or buildings). It also includes a section to account for automobiles transferred to the surviving spouse under R.C. 2106.18, with a maximum allowable value of $65,000. If the fiduciary is also the surviving spouse, they may waive formal notice of the inventory. The appraiser certifies that they have impartially and accurately valued the appraised items. Interested parties may also sign waivers to forgo notice of the inventory hearing, helping to expedite the probate process. The court sets a date and time for a hearing to review and potentially approve the inventory. www.FormsWorkflow.com
