CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OH – Cuyahoga County has unveiled a new program designed to help residents avoid unnecessary costs and delays in settling an estate. The Great Estates Program provides guidance and documents for real estate, bank accounts, motor vehicles, and other personal property, to ensure that assets are passed directly to the beneficiary intended.

There are three public outreach events scheduled where representatives from the County’s Fiscal Office and Cuyahoga County Probate Court will be available to provide residents with a Great Estates Program Kit. The kit includes documents needed for real estate and motor vehicle title transfer. Representatives will answer questions about how to fill out and file the appropriate paperwork and be available to process real estate affidavits on site.
