The Help Desk Program is available for all Summit County Residents. The program is staffed by a licensed attorney and open by appointment only.
Court proceedings involving the death of a loved one, guardianship issues, and other probate law matters are often emotional and sometimes confusing. In these difficult times, it is recommended that you consult an attorney to represent individual and family interests. If you choose to represent yourself, the Help Desk Program is available for assistance.
The Help Desk can assist with simple estate transfers, review of probate forms and questions on probate procedures. The Help Desk attorney cannot assist with the making of a will, complicated estates, adoption proceedings, or contested matters. If a specific situation is not within the scope of the Help Desk, individuals will be referred to the Akron Bar Association for a list of probate attorneys who specialize in probate law.
Scheduled appointments are required!
To schedule an appointment, call (330) 643-2350. Court filing fees remain applicable; there is no charge for Help Desk services.
PLEASE NOTE: The Help Desk is a limited resource and is not intended to replace an attorney. Appointments are limited to ONE (1) visit per case.
