Akron & Summit County

Probate runs through the Summit County court.

Akron is in Summit County, so local probate is handled by the Summit County Probate Court at 209 South High Street in downtown Akron. The court oversees estates, guardianships, and related filings for Akron-area residents.

We help Akron clients avoid probate through a funded trust, proper deeds, and beneficiary designations.

  • Revocable living trusts to avoid the Summit County Probate Court.
  • Estate planning for Summit County families
  • Business & real estate counsel across the Akron area.
Being near Cleveland does not stop us from serving Akron well. We are licensed statewide, and most of the work happens by phone, video, and email anyway.
