Notary Notice: If a signer is physically located in Ohio and uses an online notary, the notary must be licensed in Ohio and located within the state during the notarization.
FEE CHANGES:
The costs for publication will be changing beginning on December 11, 2025. This may impact your case filing due to costs included in fees charged for the filing of many types of cases in the Franklin County Probate Court. E-Filing submissions that have not been approved by this date may be rejected due to the change of fees and may need to be re-filed.
E-Filing is mandatory for all Probate Court case types.
If you already have a case pending before the court, please do not file a new case in e-filing. Choose the Existing Cases option, enter the Case Number, and click the eFile button.
You can now view non-confidential documents filed on cases using the E-Filing Case History.
If you need to find a case number use the Record search first.
Please refer to E-Filing How to View Filed Documents for more details.
